Today's ghastly groaner

A man was watching TV when his wife walked up to him and hit him on the back of the head with a frying pan.

“Why did you hit me?” he said.

“There was a piece of paper in your pocket with the name Betty Sue on it,” the wife replied.

He said, “Honey, Betty Sue is the name of a horse I want to buy.”

The wife said nothing more.

Three days later, when the man was watching TV, his wife walked up to him and hit him with the frying pan again.

“What did I do now?” the husband asked.

The wife replied, “Your horse is on the phone.”
