Beauty is only skin deep


A married couple was in a terrible accident where the woman's face
was severely burned.  The doctor told the husband that they couldn't
graft any skin from her body because she was too skinny.  So the husband
offered to donate some of his own skin.  However, the only skin on his
body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from his 
buttocks.

The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where 
the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their 
secret.  After all, this was a very delicate matter. After the surgery 
was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's new beauty. She 
looked more beautiful than she ever had before!  All her friends and 
relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty!

One day, she was alone with her husband, and was overcome with emotion 
at his sacrifice.  She said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for
everything you did for me.  There is no way I could ever repay you."

"My darling," he replied, "think nothing of it.  I get all the thanks I 
need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek.
