     Arriving home from work at my usual hour of 5 p.m., I discovered that it had not been one of my wife's better days. The result was a short fuse and an unpleasant attitude. Nothing I said or did was right. By 7 p.m. things had not changed, so I suggested I go outside, pretend I had just gotten home, and start all over again. My wife agreed.
     I went outside, came back in, and announced, "Honey, I'm home!"
     My wife replied, "Where have you been for the last two hours? It's seven o'clock."
