So I get to fixing it and I turn around and see the mailman halfway out the front door. So I put two and two together and I think there might be something going on! So I ask my wife, honey, why is the mailman in our home, and she says it's a surprise party for me! And I look at her and I say, how dumb do you think I am, a surprise party with only two people? And then the repairman comes out of the bedroom and says 'Surprise!'"
