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 agog 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. There is no way I could
ever repay you.'

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