A Wife with a 7th Sense
A man phones his wife and says: “Honey, I’ve been asked to go fishing in China with my boss for a week. This is a good opportunity for me to get the promotion. So could you please pack enough clothes for a week, set out my rod and fishing box? We’re leaving from the office, and I’ll swing by the house to pick up my things. Oh, please pack my new blue silk pyjamas!”
The wife noticed that there was something fishy in her husband’s story, but since she was a good wife, she listened to her husband and did exactly as he told her. After a week, the husband returned home, looking a bit tired but happy to have done a good job.
Upon arriving home, he asked his wife if everything was alright. She responded, “Yes, everything is fine. How was your fishing trip?”
He replied, “It was great! We caught a lot of fish, and I had a good time with my boss. Thanks for packing everything perfectly, especially my new blue silk pyjamas.”
The wife, with a knowing look, smiled and said, “You’re welcome, dear. By the way, you should be grateful I remembered to pack them. They’re still in the top drawer where you left them. I put in your fishing box instead.”
The husband was left speechless, realizing his wife had caught him in his lie without even confronting him directly.
