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 she
was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice. She
said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for
everything you did for me. How can I possibly
repay you?"

"My darling," he replied, "I get all the thanks
I need every time I see your mother kiss you on
the cheek."
