           JOKE OF THE DAY

Second opinion
The doctor and his wife were having a heated argument at breakfast.
As he stormed out of the house, the man angrily yelled to his wife,
"You aren't that good in bed either!"

By midmorning, he decided he'd better make amends and phoned home.
After many rings, his wife, clearly out of breath, answered the phone.
"What took you so long to answer and why are you panting?"

"I was in bed."

"What in the world are you doing in bed at this hour?"

"Getting a second opinion."
