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, "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." > Jack son answers "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!" >
Jack says, "So, why is everything in such perfect order, so clean, I have a > red rose, and breakfast is on the table
waiting for me?" > His son replies, "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 > Two Aspirins -$0.38 > > Saying the right thing, at the right time.........Priceless
