You know you're in trouble when... (1) You've been at work for an hour
before you notice that your skirt is caught in your pantyhose.
Especially if you're a man. (2) Your blind date turns out to be your
ex-wife. (3) Your income tax check bounces. (4) You put both contact
lenses in the same eye. (5) Your wife says, "Good morning, Bill" and
your name is George. (6) You wake up to the soothing sound of flowing
water... the day after you bought a waterbed. (7) You go on your
honeymoon to a remote little hotel and the desk clerk, bell hop, and
manager have a "Welcome Back" party for your spouse.
