A guy was sitting quietly reading his paper
when his wife walked up behind him
and whacked him on the head with a newspaper.
"What was that for?"
he asked.
"That was for the piece of paper in your pants pocket
with the name Mary Lou written on it," she replied.
"Two weeks ago when I went to the races,
Mary Lou 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 ball game on TV when she walked up
and hit him in the head again,
this time with the cast iron skillet,
which knocked him out cold.
When he came to, he asked,
"What the hell was that for?"
She replied
"Your horse called."
