A man comes home from work one day to find his wife crying her eyes out.
"What's the matter, dear?" he asks.
"It's my soap opera," she says. "On today's program, John left Mary, Sally had an abortion, Harry's wife left him for another man, Louise's house burned to the ground, Abigail's younger son was arrested for possession of drugs, and the doctor confirmed that his brother has AIDS.
"How horrible!" the husband exclaims. "What's this soap opera called?"
She holds back her sobs to answer: "Life Is Beautiful."
