A good-OLE-boy staggered home late after another
evening 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 entryway. 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, he 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 before proceeding 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.
Morning, he awakens with a screaming pain in his head
and bottom to find his wife staring at him from across the room, and hears her say: "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, "there is the front door left open, the
glass at the bottom of the stairs, the drops of blood trailing through the house, and your bloodshot eyes but, mostly....it's all those band aids stuck on the
downstairs mirror!"
The evils of drink.
