A guy was sitting quietly reading his paper when his wife walked up
behind him and whacked him on the head with a frying pan.
"What was that for?" he asked.
"That was for the piece of paper in your pants pocket with the name
MaryLou written on it," she replied.
He replied, "Two weeks ago when I went to the races, MaryLou was the name of one of
the horses I bet on," he explained.
"Oh honey, I'm sorry," she said. "I should have
known there was a good explanation."
Three days later he was watching a ballgame on TV
when she walked up and hit him in the head again, this time with the iron
skillet, which knocked him out cold.
When he came to, he asked, "What the hell was that for?"
She replied "Your horse called."
