Funny Things at Night

I found this a long time ago on the internet, but unfortunately I don't remember where or who the author was. I keep a doc of funny things I find on the net and this one was extremely funny.

One night I lay deep asleep next to my wife in bed,
when all of sudden a tremendous burst of flatulence vibrated out
of my back end.

The expulsion half woke me. But before I could fall back into
My slumber, my wife reaches for the night stand. She picks up the
telephone receiver, and in a bleary voice says, "Hello?" I looked
over at her, in a state of bewildered sleepiness.

She was obviously confused at the dial tone she was hearing.

And then the realization hit me. She had answered my fart.

it's better than waking up coughing. don't ask.
