I ran into Jim at work yesterday. He had been out for a few days with the flu. I asked him how he was feeling. “I’m better, thanks. You know, it was a wonderful experience.” he replied.

“Wonderful? How can the flu be wonderful?” I asked in stunned disbelief.

“Well, I learned that my wife really loves me. You know that whenever the mailman came by or a delivery man headed toward the door, my wife ran out to meet them? I could hear her excitedly saying, ‘My husband is home! My husband is home!”
