A man came home from an exhausting day at work, plopped down on the couch
in front of the television, and told his wife, "Get me a beer before it
starts!"

The wife sighed and got him a beer.

Ten minutes later, he said, "Get me another beer before it starts!"

She looked cross, but fetched another beer and slammed it down next to
him. He finished that beer and a few minutes later said, "Quick, get me
another beer, it's going to start any minute!"

The wife was furious. "Is that all you're going to do tonight! Drink beer
and sit in front of that TV! You're nothing but a lazy, drunken, fat slob
and furthermore..."

The man sighed and said, "It's started."
