The Water Cooler - Where are the cups?

[j$tops]

*Detailman wakes up in the hospital, bandaged *

*from head to foot.*
* *
*The doctor comes in and says, "Ah, I see *

*you've regained consciousness. Now, you *

*probably won't remember, but you were in *

*a pile-up on the freeway. You're going to *

*be okay, you'll walk again and everything, *

*but...*
* *
* "Something happened. I'm trying to break *

*this gently, but the fact is, your willy was *

*chopped off in the wreck and we were unable *

*to find it."*
* *
*Detailman groans, but the doctor goes on, *

*"You've got $9000 in insurance compensation*

*coming and we have the technology now to *

*build you a new willy that will work as well *

*as your old one did - better in fact! But the *

*thing* *is, it doesn't come cheap. It's $1000 *

*an inch."*
* *
*Detailman perks up at this.*
* *
*"So," the doctor says, "It's for you to decide *

*how many inches you want. But it's *

*something you'd better discuss with your *

*wife. I mean, if you had a five inch one before, *

*and you decide to go for a nine incher, she *

*might be a bit put out. But if you had a nine *

*inch one before, and you decide only to invest *

*in a five incher this time, she might be *

*disappointed. So it's important that she plays *

*a role in helping you make the decision."*
* *
*Detailman agrees to talk with his wife.*
* *
*The doctor comes back the next day.*

*"So," says the doctor,*

*"have you spoken with your * *wife?"*
* *
*"I have," says Detailman.*
* *
*"And what is the decision?" asks the doctor.*
* *
*"We're getting granite countertops."*
