A man and his wife had been debating the purchase of a new   
auto for weeks. He wanted a new truck.  She wanted a fast   
little sports car so she could zip through traffic around   
town.   

He would have settled on a used truck, but everything she   
seemed to like was way out of their price range.   

"Look!" she said. "I want something that goes from 0 to 200   
in 4 seconds or less. And my birthday is coming up. You   
could surprise me!"   

For her birthday, he bought her a brand new bathroom scale.   

Assault charges are pending.
