--Saying the right thing:
Marty wakes up at home with a huge hangover and
forces himself to open his
eyes. The first thing he sees is a couple of aspirin
and a glass of water
on the side table. He sits down and sees his
clothing in front of him,
clean and pressed. Marty looks around the room and
sees it is in perfect
order, spotless clean; so is the rest of the house.
He takes the two
aspirin and notices a note on the table that reads,
"Honey, breakfast is on
the stove, I left early to go shopping. Love You!"
He goes to the kitchen and sure enough there sits a
hot breakfast and the
morning newspaper. His son is also at the table
eating. Marty asks, "Son,
what happened last night?"
His son answers, "Well, you came home after 3 am,
drunk and delirious.
Broke some furniture, puked in the hallway, and gave
yourself a black eye
when you stumbled into the door."
Confused, Marty asks, "So, why is everything in
order and so clean, and
breakfast on the table waiting for me?"
His son replies, "Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the
bedroom, and when she
tried to take your pants off, you said, "Lady, leave
me alone, I'm
married!"
