Drink Problem
Harry 1 had a bit of a drinking problem.
Every night, after dinner, he took off for the local watering hole. He spent the whole evening there, and arrived home, well inebriated 2, around midnight each night.
He always had trouble getting his key into the keyhole, and getting the door opened. His wife, waiting up for him, would go to the door and let him in. Then she would proceed to yell 3 and scream at him, for his constant nights out, and coming home in a drunken state. But, Harry continued his nightly routine.
One day, the wife was talking to a friend about her husband's behaviour, and was particularly distraught by it all.
The friend listened to her, and then said, "Why don't you treat him a little differently when he comes home? Instead of berating 4 him, why don't you give him some loving words, and welcome him home with a kiss? He then might change his ways." The wife thought it was worth trying.
That night, Harry took off again, after dinner. And, aboutmidnight, he arrived home, in his usual condition. His wife
heard him at the door, quickly went to it, opened the door,and let Harry in.
This time, instead of berating him, as she had always done,she took his arm, and led him into the living room. She sat
him down in an easy chair, put his feet up on the ottomanand took his shoes off. Then she went behind him, and started to cuddle him a little. After a while, she said to him, "It's pretty late. I think we had better go upstairs to bed now, don't you?"
At that, Harry replied, in his inebriated state, "I guess we might as well. I'll get in trouble when I get home anyway!"
