If you’ve ever been around people who drink, you know how aggravating it can be. Here’s what I’ve learned: if you’re having a few drinks and getting a little buzz going with them, the drunk folks can be fun. But if you’re the only sober person in the room, it’s not very much fun at all. And dealing with these folks once you get them home is a whole different problem. You have to get them in the house and hope they don’t get sick. Now usually they’re a little embarrassed the next day, but the problem comes in when people drink habitually and they’re coming home drunk every night. How do you deal with it? Some people nag and berate the drunks they love, but it rarely helps the problem. This lady sought advice and thought she’s try something a little different. Things got funny very quickly. Enjoy this hilarious joke.
Every night after dinner, Harry took off for the local watering hole.
He would spend the whole evening there and always arrive home, well inebriated, around midnight each night. He usually had trouble getting his key to fit the keyhole and couldn’t get the door open. And, every time this happened, his wife would go to the door and let him in. Then, she would proceed to yell and scream at him for his constant nights out and coming home in a drunken state. But, Harry still continued his nightly routine.
One day, the distraught wife was talking to a friend about her husband’s behavior. The friend listened and suggested, “Why don’t you treat him a little differently when he comes home? Instead of berating him, why don’t you give him some loving words and welcome him home with a kiss? Then, he might change his ways.” The wife thought that this might be a good idea.
That night, Harry took off again after dinner. And, at about midnight, he arrived home in his usual condition.
His wife heard him at the door. She quickly opened it and let Harry in. Instead of berating him as she had always done, this time she took his arm and led him into the living room. She sat Harry down in an easy chair, put his feet up on the foot stool, and took his shoes off. Then, she went behind him and started to cuddle him a little. After a short while, she whispered to Harry, “It’s pretty late, dear. I think we should go upstairs to bed now, don’t you think?”
Harry replied in his inebriated state, “Heck, I guess we might as well. I’ll get in trouble when I get home anyway!”
