Late Night Aspirin

A police officer, though scheduled for all-night duty at the station, was relieved of duty early and arrived home four hours ahead of schedule, at 2 AM.

Not wanting to wake his wife, he undressed in the dark, crept into the bedroom and started to climb into bed. She sleepily sat up and said:

- Mike, dearest, would you go down to the all-night drug store on the next block and get me some aspirin? I've got a splitting headache.

He said:

- Certainly, honey - and feeling his way across the room, he got dressed and walked over to the drug store.

As he arrived, the pharmacist looked up in surprise:

- Say - said the druggist.

- aren't you Officer Fenwick of the 8th District?

- Yes, I am - said the officer.

- Well, then, what in the world are you doing in the Fire Chief's uniform?
