Funny Poop
A serious drunk walked into a bar
and, after staring for some time at the only woman seated at the bar, walked
over to her and kissed her. She jumped
up and slapped him silly. He immediately
apologized and explained, "I'm sorry. I thought you were my wife. You look exactly like her."
"Why you worthless, insufferable, wretched, no good drunk!" she
screamed.
"Funny," he muttered, "you even sound exactly like
her."
