    I haven't had time to pop in here much in the last while, so hopefully this hasn't been up ... at least too recently! :D


    Adam wakes up with a huge hangover after attending the Staff Christmas Party. Adam is not normally a drinker, 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 did something wrong. Adam 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! Adam 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, 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, Vicki"

    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. Adam 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 puked 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 and 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 your pants off, you screamed "Leave me alone, I'm Married!!"

    Saying the right thing, at the right time ... PRICELESS!!!!

    All good except the last line - people will get the joke anyway.

    Ditto. It's like The Daily Star version of the joke.

    Any idea what the ending should be?

    Remove the corny and overused 'priceless' line.

    No, just every fortnight since time began. Agreed, it was better before people started adding that last line.

    Everyone's a critic. :(

    I wait with baited breath to see contributions from those who saw fit to pick holes in what was a very good joke.

    Come on then, show me...
