A married couple was in a terrible car accident where the woman's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they could not graft any skin from her body because she was so slim.

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. Husband and the wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from and requested the doctor also honored 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 girlfriends 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 wanted to thank you for everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever repay you."

"My darling," he replied, "think nothing of it. I get all the thanks I need everytime I see your mother kiss your cheek."
