Communication In Relationships

A man wakes up in a hospital, bandaged from head to foot.

The doctor comes in and says, "Ah, I see you've regained consciousness. Now you probably don't remember, but you were involved in a pile up on the freeway. You're going to be okay, you'll walk again and everything. But something terrible happened."

"What is it, doc," the man asked.

"I'm trying to break this to you gently, but the fact is, your penis was chopped off in the wreck and we were unable to find it."

The man groans and fights back tears.

The doctor continued, "The good news is you've got $9000 in insurance compensation coming, and we have the technology now to build and to attach a new penis that will work as well as your old one did, and better in fact! But the thing is, it doesn't come cheap. It's $1000 an inch."

The man perks up at this and begins to feel better about his misfortune.

"So," the doctor says, "it's for you to decide how many inches you want. But it's something you'd better discuss with your wife. I mean, if you had a five inch one before and you decide to go for a nine incher, she might be put out and maybe even afraid.

But if you had a nine inch one before and you decide to go for the five incher, she might be greatly disappointed. It's important that she plays a role in this decision. Making that decision together will help you through this tought time."

The man agrees to talk to his wife. The doctor returns to his hospital room the next day. "So, have you spoken to your wife?" the doctor asks.

"Yes, I have," replies the patient.

"Has she helped you in making the desirable decision?" the doctor asked.

"Yes, she has," says the man.

"And what is it?" inquired the doctor.

Replied the patient, "We're getting granite counter tops."

Sandee,

I guess Granite counter tops must be quite expensive - Probably more than just an arm and a leg!

Hale McKay said...

Mike,

Thank you, sir.

Hale McKay said...

Jack,

I thought that dining out joke sounded familiar.

Hale McKay said...

Jack,

Thanks for the author of that quote.

It's classic Henny Youngman.
