When we are married, we tend to get the idea that it is just fine to say whatever is on our mind because we are speaking to our significant other. In reality, we should be more cautious about what we say to them because we have to live with them and we want to care for their needs emotionally as much as we want them to care for ours. On occasion, there are going to be times when we think of something that we could say but we realize it is a bad idea to say it. In the following joke, a husband learns the unfortunate truth about that statement.
Eddie and his wife June are shopping in their local supermarket.
The husband picks up a case of Heineken and puts it in their cart.
‘What do you think you’re doing?’ asks June.
‘They’re on sale, only $15 for 24 cans,’ Eddie replies.
‘Put them back, we can’t afford them,’ demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping.
A few aisles further on along June picks up a $30 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.
‘What do you think you’re doing?’ asks Eddie.
‘It’s my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,’ replies the wife.
Her husband retorts: ‘So does 24 cans of Heineken and it’s half the price.’
Eddie never knew what hit him. The next thing he heard on the supermarket PA system was: ‘Cleanup on aisle 19, we have a husband down.’
