Saying The Right Thing

[jimras]

Jack wakes up at home with a huge hangover he can't believe. He forces

himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of

aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a

single red rose!

Jack sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and

pressed. Jack looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order,

spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins,

cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom

mirror, and notices a note on the table: "Honey, breakfast is on the stove,

I ! left early to go shopping--Love you!"

He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast and the

morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. Jack asks,

"Son...what happened last night?"

"Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and out of your mind. You broke

some furniture, puked in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran

into the door."

"So, why is everything in such perfect order, so clean, I have a rose, and

breakfast is 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 screamed, "Leave me alone, lady, I'm

married!"
