    Wife (a nurse) comes home and says:

    Husband (a fireman):

    “How come you’re allowed to gamble and I’m not?”

    Wife: “because A) you loose and B) I wasn’t gambling”

    Husband: “How can you say you weren’t gambling if you won the BETTING pool?

    Wife: “because I scheduled Mrs. Epstein’s C-Section.”
