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!"
Broken furniture - $85.26
Hot Breakfast - $4.20
Red Rose bud -$3.00

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