A man was sitting in a bar drinking when he
looked at his watch and was concerned about how late it had gotten.
"I must get home to my wife," he
thought, and started to leave. But as he got down off the barstool,
he fell.
"Oh my God,
I must be drunker than I realized," he thought. He crawled
out onto the street. With the blast of fresh air, he felt better
and thought maybe he could stand and walk home, since he lived
only a few blocks away. He climbed the nearest parking meter
to help stand himself up, only to fall again! He was very perplexed.
"I didn't know how very drunk I am,"
he thought. "Well, I'll just be safe and crawl home."
And he did. In fact, he crawled right into his bed and immediately
fell asleep.
The next morning, however, his wife was livid.
"You got very drunk again last night,"
she accused.
"No, dear, not at all," he protested.
"I only had a couple of drinks."
"Why then," she asked, "is
the bar calling to say you left your wheelchair there again???" |
