0 to 200 in Less Than 10 Seconds


Wife says to husband, "do you know what day it is?"


Husband, "No."


Wife: "It's our 25th anniversary. How could you possibly forget?"


Husband pleads forgetfulness and promises to make it up to her. He makes plans to take her out for dinner at a fine restaurant.


"Not good enough," the wife complains. "If you want to get back in my good graces, then I'd better find something that goes from 0 to 200 in less than 10 seconds parked in our driveway tomorrow morning or else!"


Husband comes home early from work; brings his wife a dozen long stemmed roses. They have a wonderful meal at an expensive restaurant and a romantic evening.


Next morning the wife wakes up. First thing she checks is the driveway, but there's no new car. Instead, there's a beautiful wrapped package. She thinks to herself, "perhaps it contains the keys to a new car."


The wife picks up the package. There's a card scotchtaped to the top. It reads: "Happy anniversary! I'm sorry I forgot our 25th. But as you can see I didn't forget your demand. The clerk assured me it goes from 0-200 in less than 10 seconds. Enjoy!"


The wife excitedly unwrapped the package and what should she find to her surprise?


A brand new bathroom scale!
