2nd's Daily Joke
|
Over breakfast one morning,
a woman said to her husband, "I bet you don't know what
day this is."
"Of course I do," he indignantly answered, going
out the door to the office.
At 10 AM, the doorbell rang and when the woman opened the
door, she was handed a box containing a dozen long stemmed
red roses. At 1 PM, a foil wrapped, two pound box of her favorite
chocolates arrived . Later, a boutique delivered a designer
dress.
The woman couldn't wait for her husband to come home.
"First the flowers, then the chocolates and then the
dress!" she exclaimed.
"I've never had a more wonderful Groundhog Day in my
life!" |
