A man 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."
Then he fell asleep again. His wife had never heard him say that
before, so she stayed by his side. A few minutes later his eyes fluttered
open and he said, "You're cute."
The wife was disappointed because instead of "beautiful," it was
now "cute." She asked, "What happened to beautiful?"
The man replied, "The drugs are wearing off."
