Husband's call:

"Honey it's me. I don't want to alarm you but I was hit by a car as I was leaving the office.
Paula brought me to the hospital.
They have checked me over and done some tests and some x-rays.
The blow to my head was severe.
Fortunately it did not cause any serious internal injury.
However I have three broken ribs, a compound fracture in the left leg, and they think they may have to amputate my right foot."

Wife's Response:

"Who is Paula?"

And if you find that hard to believe, you've never been married.
