Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company's Christmas Party. Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn't taste like alcohol at all. He didn't even remember how he got home from the party. As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong....
Jack had to force himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose! Jack sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed.
He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror. Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick:
"Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to get groceries to make your favourite dinner tonight. I love you, darling! Love, Jillian"
He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast,steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. Jack asks, "Son... what happened last night?""Well, you came home after 3 A.M…, drunk and out of your mind. You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door. Confused, he asked his son, "So, why is everything in such perfect order and so clean? I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me??"
His son replied, "Oh THAT!... Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed "Leave me alone, I'm married!!"
Morale of the story:
Saying the right thing at the right time can save a lot of trouble :)

- BEEF BRISKET NOODLES - Tengkat Tong Shin, runs parallel to Jalan Alor. Stall near the beginning of the road. Open at night till midnight.
- CHAR SIEW/CHICKEN RICE - Tengkat Tong Shin, further up the road. Old prewar shop house. This has to be the drop dead unhealthiest piece of anything you can insert in your mouth in KL? But to die for chicken is strictly as filler to make sure you don't get a heart attack overdosing on char siew.
- FISH BALLS - Tengkat Tong Shin, a little further up the road from char siew's stall. Stall inside a coffee shop. This guy is good looking at the amount of people he employs to help out!
- SEAFOOD NOODLES - Segambut, near Auto Bavaria. A big bowl full of noodles and assorted mussels, prawns, cuttlefish, fish etc. for reasonable price. Pick of soup, clear, tom yam, curry. Forget the rest, or for the curry. Soya bean with cincau not bad. Avoid on Sunday mornings. You will wait for an hour. Fried Chicken Rice (only on Wed and Sat)!! There is a branch now open in SS2 Chow Yang, called Restoran Yu Ai with yellow signboard, just a few doors away from Kayu Nasi Kandar.
- CHEF'S SALAD - Flagz, behind Souled Out. This salad is as all salads should be crunchy FRESH veggies, and the dressing is to die for. Easily the best salad in town. And I don't even like salad. Beer is the freshest in town too great bite.

As above, you'll have to go to Penang to beat this. Other stalls in the same shop not bad.

- BAK KUT TEH KLANG - Hokkien Association off the main highway leading to the heart of Klang is a good place to start for beginners.
- DIM SUM - Marriott Hotel. Chinese restaurant here serves northern China style dim sum. Easily best dim sum in town. A little pricey.
- FISH HEAD - Off Jalan Sungai Besi, just past WANTAN MEE, turn left right after BP. Three shops clumped together. All look dilapidated but don't worry. Don't know what type of fish they get their heads from, but I suspect fresh water fish. Hot sauce fish head to die for. Extremely reasonable prices.
- BAK KUT TEH - Segambut, go past Auto Bavaria, follow road all the way until you see a Chinese temple on your left. Enter the temple courtyard and you will see a tin shack where they serve bak kut teh. Not quite up there with Klang, but nothing to sneeze at. Go for yam rice rather than white rice. Fried Chicken Rice (only on Weds and Sat)!!
