Ed awakes with a hangover. First thing he sees is two aspirin, a glass of water and a rose. He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table: "Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to go shopping--Love you!"
Stumbling into the kitchen he sees a hot breakfast and the paper. He sees his son and asks, "What happened last night?"
"Well, you came home drunk. You broke some furniture, and you got sick in the hall."
"So, why do I have a rose and breakfast waiting for me?"
"Oh, THAT! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, 'Leave me alone, lady, I'm married!' "
