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. He didn't even remember how he got home from the party. 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 favorite 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.
Confused, he asked his son, "So, why is everything in such
perfect order and 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,
I'm married!!"
Broken Coffee Table: $239.99. Hot Breakfast: $4.20. Two

Saying the right thing, at the right time. . . PRICELESS!!!
