alarm clocks

My sisters friend May, was married to a chap who worked shifts, but liked to read books. The travelling library came at 11.00 am, he was off shift at 6.00 am, and asked May to wake him when the library came.
She did this, and he was not thankful, he was so irritated, he picked up the alarm clock - his fail safe - and threw it at her. It hit her on the leg, and was extremely painful.
The marriage life support functions, excluding sex, continued without either saying more than essential words..
Some four days later, the contrite husband said, "I.m sorry I threw the alarm clock, and that it hurt you".
"Yes it did hurt, but thanks be it was not the Grandfather clock".

This blog is about waking you up to a real life, blessings on those that tell their friends
