WatchingTV A man comes home from an exhausting day at work, plops down on the couch in front of the television, and tells his wife, “Get me a cup of coffee before it starts.”

The wife sighs and gets him a cup of coffee.

Fifteen minutes later, he says, “Get me some snacks before it starts.”

She looks cross, but takes some snacks from refrigerator and slams it down next to him.

He finishes the snacks and a few minutes later says, “Quick, get me something to eat, it’s going to start any minute.”

The wife is furious. She yells at him,

“Is that all you’re going to do tonight? Eat and sit in front of that TV? You’re nothing but a lazy, drunken, fat slob and furthermore . . .”

The man sighs and says, “It’s started.”

Google Suggest is a cool feature which offers similar to the one you are typing. It works as follows,
