A man calls his wife and says, “Honey, I’ve been invited to go fishing out of town with my boss for a week. This could be a great opportunity for a promotion. Can you please pack enough clothes for the week, get my rod and tackle box ready, and don’t forget to pack my new blue silk pajamas?”
The wife sensed something was off but, being a good wife, she followed his instructions and packed everything he asked for.
After a week, the husband returned home, looking a bit tired but pleased with himself. The wife immediately bombarded him with questions about the trip: how it was, if he caught any fish, and so on.
“Yes, I caught plenty—lots of salmon, bluegill, and even a few swordfish,” he replied. Then, with a puzzled look, he added, “But why didn’t you pack my blue silk pajamas?”
The wife smirked and said, “I did. They’re still in your tackle box.”
