Cutting down

After our last child was born, my wife told me we had to cut back on expenses -- in fact, she said, I had to give up drinking beer. I was not a big drinker, maybe a 12-pack on weekends.

Anyway, I gave it up, and everything was fine until I noticed the other day when she came home from shopping. The receipt included $45 worth of makeup.

I said, "Wait a minute! I've given up beer and you haven't given up anything!"

She said, "I buy that makeup for you, so I can look pretty for you!"

I told her, "Hell, that's what the beer was for!"

I'm not sure yet, but I don't think she'll be back.
