There was a lawyer and he was just waking up from anesthesia after surgery, and his wife was sitting by his side.
His eyes fluttered open and he said, “You're beautiful!” and then he fell asleep again.
His wife had never heard him say that so she stayed by his side.
A couple minutes later his eyes fluttered open and he said “You're cute!”
The wife was disappointed, so she said “What happened to ‘beautiful’?”
His reply was “The drugs are wearing off!”
변호사가 수술을 받은 후 마취에서 깨어나고 있었다. 그리고 그의 곁엔 아내가 앉아 있었다.
그는 눈꺼풀을 실룩거리며 눈을 뜨더니 “당신은 아름다워”라고 말한 뒤 다시 잠에 빠져들었다.
이런 말을 들어본 적이 없었던 아내는 남편 곁을 계속 지켰다.
잠시 후 변호사가 다시 힘겹게 눈을 뜨더니 “당신은 귀여워”라고 말했다.
그의 아내는 이 말에 실망하면서 “아름답다는 말은 어떻게 된 거예요?”라고 물었다.
그러자 변호사 왈, “약기운이 점점 떨어지고 있어.”
