Irwin Meyers was just coming out of anesthesia after a series of tests in the hospital, and his wife, Kitty, was sitting at his bedside.  His eyes fluttered open, and he murmured, "You're beautiful."

Flattered, Kitty continued her vigil while he drifted back to sleep.  Later he woke up and said, "You're cute."

"What happened to 'beautiful'?" Kitty asked Irwin.

"The drugs are wearing off," he replied.
