Our whole life was turned upside down when our first child was born. Every night, the baby would be fussy; my wife would wake me up, saying, “Get up, honey, go see why the baby is crying.” After many sleepless nights, I was telling coworkers about my dilemma and one of them suggested a class on infant massage. The next night after the class, I tried the technique, and sure enough the baby slept peacefully. But in the middle of the night, my wife woke me up. “Get up, Gene, go and see why the baby is not crying.”

On a long Sunday of football my wife commented that the TV networks must think the average fan is pretty stupid because they have to show the whole game over again with replays. I told her it was not the IQ of the average fan, but at any time during any game somewhere there was a wife walking in front of the TV during a crucial play.
