This man was sitting quietly reading his paper one morning, peacefully
   enjoying himself,
   when his wife sneaks up behind him and wacks him on the back of his
   head with a huge
   frying pan.
   Man: "What was that for?"
   Wife: "What was that piece of paper in your pants pocket with the name
   Marylou written on
   it?"
   Man: "Oh honey, remember two weeks ago when I went to the horse races?
   Marylou was
   the name of one of the horses I bet on."
   The wife looked all satisfied and goes off to work around the house.
   Three days later he is
   once again sitting in his chair reading and she repeats the frying pan
   swatting.
   Man: "What the hell was that for this time?"
   Wife: "Your horse called."
