Saying the right thing...
Posted: February 10, 2005, 5:15 pm
Jack wakes up at home with a huge hangover after the night of his
office Christmas party. 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!"

Saying the right thing, at the right time........."Priceless".
