A sailor
wakes up one morning with the worst hangover and no recollection of the night
before. Slowly opening his eyes, he sees a bottle of aspirin and a glass of
water on the bedside table. He looks around the room to find his uniform neatly
folded on the dresser with clean skivvies on top. The bedroom is immaculate. On
the bedside table is a note that says…
“Darling,
your breakfast is in the kitchen. I love you.”
Downstairs,
he finds his favorite cereal, croissants, fresh OJ, and freshly brewed coffee
waiting for him, along with the morning paper, and his 15-year-old son who is finishing
his own breakfast.
“Tell me,
son,” he asks, “what happened last night?”’
“Well, you
came home so drunk you didn’t even know your own name. You nearly broke the
door down, then you were sick in the hallway, then you knocked the furniture
over and when mom tried to calm you down, you thought she was the police, so
you gave her a black eye.”
“Christ!”
says the sailor. “Then how come my clothes are all folded, the house is tidy and
my breakfast is ready?”
“When mom
dragged you into the bedroom and tried to get your pants off to put you into
bed, you shouted at her, ‘Get your filthy hands off me, you whore, I’m
married!’”
