Joke of the day:

A drunk walking down the street, is approached by the police at 3:00 AM.

The policeman asks: "Where are you going at this hour?"

The drunk answers:
"I am going to attend a lecture on alcohol abuse and the lethal effects on the body, the bad example it creates on children, the harmful consequences for the family, The problem it causes to the family economy, ... in addition to being an absolute irresponsibility."

The surprised policeman says:
"Really? Who will give this lecture at this time of night?"

"My wife ... as soon as I get home‼"
