The Good Husband > Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his > company's Christmas Party. Jack is not normally a > drinker, but the > drinks didn't taste like alcohol at all.

As bad as he was feeling, he > wondered if he did > something wrong. > > Jack had to force 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 up and sees his clothing in > front of him, all clean and pressed. He 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. Then he > notices a note > hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red > with little hearts on it and > a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick: > "Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to get > groceries to make you your favourite dinner tonight. I > love you, darling! > Love, Jillian" > > He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is > hot > breakfast, steaming hot coffee 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 fell over the coffee table and broke > it, and then you puked in the hallway, and got that > black eye when you ran into the door.

Mom dragged you to the > bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, > you screamed, "Leave me alone, I'm married!!" > > Broken Coffee Table $339.99 > Hot Breakfast $4.20 > Two Aspirins $.38 > Saying the right thing, at the right time . . > PRICELESS!!!
