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. and drunk 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 why 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!"
