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!!"
