Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company's Christmas Party. Jack normally doesn't drink, 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 might have done 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 his nightstand. 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 and cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror.
Then he notices a note from his wife hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark in lipstick!:
"Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to go 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 threw up 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, 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 off your clothes and put you to bed, you screamed, "Leave me alone, lady, I'm married!!!"
