A doctor and his wife were in the middle of a heated argument over breakfast.
Frustrated, he yelled, “Well, you’re not so great in bed either!” and stormed off to work.
By mid-morning, guilt began to creep in, and he decided to call home to make amends.
“Why did it take you so long to pick up?” he asked.
“I was in bed,” she replied casually.
“Why are you still in bed at this hour?” he pressed.
“Oh, just getting a second opinion,” she said with a sly, knowing smile.
Conclusion
Even in the midst of a playful spat, a clever comeback can completely flip the script. Sometimes, the best “medicine” isn’t an apology—it’s a sharp sense of humor.
