A man has been drinking all night in a bar when suddenly the barman calls time. He stands up to leave but his legs let him down and he falls flat on his face. Unable to stand, he crawls outside for a breath of fresh air. After 15 minutes lying on the pavement, he tries to stand again and the same thing happens, so he crawls home. At his front door he tries to drag himself onto his feet, holding tight to the door handle and lets himself in, promptly falling into the hall, and back on his face. He crawls up the stairs and drags himself into bed, where he immediately passes out. The next day his wife wakes him early, clearly furious, “You’ve been drinking again,” she accuses.
“How did you know?” he replies.
“Because the pub just called. You left your wheelchair there again.”
