Priceless

As promised by the coworker, the drinks were flowing when the job was done. After a long night, Sammy finally makes it home. The next morning he wakes up with a huge hangover.

He didn't even remember how he got home.

As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong.

Sammy 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!!

Sammy 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 and 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, Wifey"

He then stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper.

His daughter is also at the table, eating.

Sammy asks his daughter what had happened the night before.

"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 daughter, "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 daughter replies, "Oh THAT... Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, 'Leave me alone bitch, I'm married!!'

Broken coffee Table $239.99
Hot breakfast $4.20
Two aspirins $.38
Saying the right thing, at the right time:

PRICELESS
