Larry gets home late one night and, Linda, his wife says, 'Where in the hell have you been?'

Larry replies, 'I was out getting a tattoo.'

'A tattoo?' she frowned. 'What kind of tattoo did you get?'

'I got a hundred dollar bill on my privates,' he said proudly.

'What the hell were you thinking?' she said, shaking her head in disgust. 'Why on earth would an accountant get a hundred dollar bill tattooed on his privates? '

'Well, one, I like to watch my money grow.

'Two, once in a while I like to play with my money.

'Three, I like how money feels in my hand.

'And, lastly, instead of you going out shopping, you can stay right here at home and blow a hundred bucks anytime you want.

Larry is recovering in room 232 at the hospital...
