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.   There is no way I could ever repay
you."

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