Many of us enjoy having a drink on occasion and it can be nice to socialize with others with a glass of wine or perhaps a beer. There are times, however, when we may take things a little too far and we end up having too much to drink. It can be a very difficult situation, especially if we don’t want others in our household to know that we have been drinking too much. That is what happened in the following joke, and a husband came home after drinking heavily. Little did he know that he would make it easy for her to catch him in a very funny way.
A man staggered home late after another evening at the pub with his drinking buddies. Shoes in left hand to avoid waking his wife, he tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step in the darkened entry way.
As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful.
Managing to suppress a yelp, the man sprung up, pulled down his pants, and examined his lacerated and bleeding cheeks in the mirror of a nearby darkened hallway, then managed to find a large full box of Band-aids and proceeded to place a patch as best he could on each place he saw blood.
After hiding the now almost empty box, he managed to shuffle and stumble his way to bed.
In the morning, the man awoke with searing pain in the head and butt and his wife staring at him from across the room.
She said, “You were drunk again last night.”
Forcing himself to ignore his agony, he looked meekly at her and replied, “Now, hon, why would you say such a mean thing?”
“Well,” she said, “it could be the open front door, it could be the glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but, mostly… it’s all those darn Band-aids stuck on the downstairs mirror.
