THE MACHINE

THIS GUY GOES INTO AN AIRPORT AND HE SEES THIS MACHINE
WITH A BIG SIGN ON THE TOP OF IT WHICH READ, "YOUR WIFE
AWAY FROM HOME." HE WONDERED WHAT IT WAS, BUT HE WAS
TOO CHICKEN TO GO AND TRY IT, SO HE DECIDED TO WAIT AND
WATCH SOMEONE ELSE USE IT. THIS ONE MAN GOES UP TO IT
AND PUTS A COIN IN IT. HE PUTS HIS FRONT SIDE UP
CLOSE TO IT AND MOVED AROUND A BIT TO GET INTO POSITION.
LIGHTS AND BELL WENT OFF AND THE MAN HAD A LOOK OF
SATISFACTION ON HIS FACE. A SECOND MAN WENT UP TO THE
MACHINE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, SO OUR FRIEND
DECIDED THAT IT WAS HIS TURN TO TRY IT. HE WENT UP TO
THE MACHINE, STUCK HIS TOOL IN A LITTLE HOLE HE SAW AND
PUT A COIN INTO THE MACHINE. SUDDENLY HE STARTED TO
YELL AND SCREAM. HE PULLED OUT HIS TOOL AND THERE
WAS A BUTTON SEWED ON IT.
