The Lazy Man

Once there was a lazy man who did nothing. he was so lazy he didn't eat, sleep, walk, talk, or even go to the bathroom by himself.Luckily for him he had a wife who helped him do everything, or he would have died. One day his wife said to him, "I have to visit my sick mother. Can you stay here by yourself for two days?". Of course the man didn't reply because he needed his wife to help him talk, and as she simply stood there, waiting for an answer, the man did not speak, but merely sat there, staring into space. "I take that as a yes", the wife said finally. She had to make her husband some food that would last for two days, but he was so lazy he could not even pick up his spoon and fork to eat. In the end she came up with this solution: She would make a large pancake, pour on some syrup, cut a hole in the middle and place it around her husband's neck to eat. She did just that and left. The next day she went back to check on the man, and upon having discovered that the man was fine and in perfect health, she was satisfied. She did not even need to make another pancake because there was still some left from the day before. However, when she came back the next day, the poor man was starving to death because after he had finished eating the front of the pancake, he was to lazy to to turn the pancake around and eat the back! The End
