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."
