| ...reading his paper 
one morning, peacefully enjoying himself, when
 his wife sneaks up behind him and whacks him on
 the back of his head with a huge frying pan. He
 asks, 'What was that for?'
 
 She replies, 'What was that piece of paper in
 your pants pocket with the name Marylou written
 on it?'
 
 He says, 'Oh honey, remember two weeks ago when
 I went to the horse races? Marylou was the name
 of one of the horses I bet on.'
 
 She is appeased and goes off to work around the
 house. Three days later he is once again sitting
 in his chair reading and she repeats the frying
 pan swatting.
 
 He says, 'What's that for this time?'
 
 She answered, 'Your horse called.'
