You are beautiful

A lawyer was just waking up
from anesthesia after
surgery, and his wife was
sitting by his side. His eyes
fluttered open and he said,
"You're beautiful!" and then
he fell asleep again. His wife
had never heard him say that
so she stayed by his side.
A couple of minutes later, his
eyes fluttered open and he
said, "You're cute!" Well, the
wife was dissapointed
because instead of
"beautiful," it was "cute."
She asked, "What happened
to 'beautiful'?" His reply was
"The drugs are wearing off!"
