One day, a newly married man came home drunk after clubbing and staying out late with his friends.
His wife was so angry, she screamed at him, "I didn't sign up for this. If this happens again you won't hear from me."
He thought she was joking, so, smiling, he staggered to bed that night.
The next day he repeated the same thing. He came home drunk again from clubbing with his friends
"What did I tell you last night?" The wife asked shocked and angry
He laughed and said, "Well, (hic) you said I wouldn't hear (hic) from you if I drink again."
"You thought I was joking right?" The wife asked
"I believe you." He belched and staggered around
"If you come back home drunk one more time, I promise you, you wouldn't hear from me for a few days."
Even in his drunken state he was excited at the possibility of his wife leaving for a few days so he can enjoy himself alone, and in peace. Drinking and clubbing as he likes.
The next day, he went out again and intentionally got drunk and came back late.
As soon as he entered, he met his wife standing and waiting for him in the sitting room holding something, then, like lightning, it happened
The first day passed, nothing, he didn't hear anything. The second day passed as well and still nothing.
On the third day, the injury in his ear where his wife slapped, punched and hit him with her spatula started healing, so he could hear her gradually again.
"Can you hear me now?" The wife asked with a smirk.
He gently touched the bandaged ear with his hands while he stared at his wife then she continued.
"If you come back home drunk again, apart from not hearing me, you won't also see me for a few days."
That was the end of his drinking and clubbing habit.
The End
