请教，这个笑话怎么理解？

“The pharmacist just insulted me,” the woman sobbed to her husband. Upset, he jumped into his car and sped to the shop to defend his wife.

“Listen to my side!” the pharmacist pleaded. “First, my alarm didn’t go off and I overslept. Rushing out I locked both my house and car keys inside and had to break a window to get them. Then I got a flat tyre.

“When I finally got behind the counter, there was a long queue and the phone was ringing. After bending to pick up a roll of coins, I cracked my head on a drawer and fell backwards, shattering the perfume display cabinet. Meanwhile, the phone was still ringing. I answered and your wife asked me how to use a rectal thermometer. I swear, all I did was tell her.”

汗一个，这个笑话没看明白...
那个pharmacist最后说的是f××× word么？

天地之间

大概他提到了asshole这个词。

craigie

他的回答是“up yours”。

pinxinge

不错的笑话，充分的想象空间。

lisa2008

估计不只是提到，而是仅仅说了这一个词

BrianBao

就是用了最简短的方式说明如何使用入肛式体温计，没有时间和心情去选择任何隐晦委婉的言辞
类似“just put it in the asshole"

多谢各位指点!
我觉得楼上craigie提出的up yours挺有意思
这是搜到的解释

Most likely, the pharmacist shouted, "Shove it up your arse!" Which can mean how to use a rectal thermometer or get f***ed...
