Before It Starts

A man, sitting in his easy chair in front of the game, yells out to the kitchen, "Honey, would you please bring me a beer before it starts?"

His wife sighs and brings him a beer.

Fifteen minutes later, he repeats, "Honey... get me another beer before it starts, wouldja?"

She's a little cross this time, but she fetches another beer and slams it down next to him.

Twenty minutes go by, until he calls out again. "Quick, get me another beer, it's going to start any minute!"

The wife is furious. "Is that all you're going to do tonight?" she yells at him. "Drink beer and sit in front of that TV? You're nothing but a drunken, fat slob. I don't know why I married you..."

"Oh, boy," the man sighs, "it's started".
