A guy was sitting quietly, reading his paper, when his wife walked up
behind him and smacked him in the head with a frying pan. 

"That was for the piece of paper in your pants pocket with the name 
Marylou written on it," she exclaimed.  

"Two weeks ago when I went to the races, Marylou was the name of one 
of the horses I bet on!" he protested.

"Oh honey, I'm so sorry," she said. "I should have known there was a
good explanation!"  

Three days later he was watching a ball game on TV, when she walked up 
and bashed him in the head again -- this time with the iron skillet, 
which knocked him out cold. 

When he came to, he asked, "What the hell was that for?"

"Your horse just called."
