You know, a woman came to a preacher that I know — he’s so funny — and she was awful looking. I mean, her hair was all torn up and she was overweight and looked terrible, clothes bad and everything. And she said, “Oh, Reverend, what can I do? My husband has started to drink.” And the preacher looked at her and said, “Madam, if I was married to you I’d start to drink too.”
