A guy is real drunk and gets home real late. Trying to avoid the little woman, he parks a block away from his home. He takes off his shoes as he walks up the stairs, careful not to make a noise. He quietly opens the door and tiptoes into the room, when «BAM!!!» – he gets hit by a frying pan…
Telling the story to a friend the next day at the local watering hole, his best friend sadly shakes his head and says, «Boy, you are inert! Now here\'s how I do it. When I get drunk I go borrow my bud\'s Harley and go screamin\' up and down my block a couple of times a hootin\' and a hollerin\'. I take the Harley rat up on the porch and then start screamin\' and a cuss-in\'. I slam open the door and scream, \'Tim the man of the house and I want some sex rat now!» And you know what\'s amazin\'??? My wife is always asleep!!!"
