There are many lessons we need to learn in life but sometimes, we don’t learn them until it is too late. Rather than having to go through all of those experiences before we are able to gain that wisdom, it is often best if we learn from the experience of others. At times, we might just learn a lesson that is so profound, it changes our life from that moment forward. That is what happened to the woman in this joke, and the lesson we learn teaches us why a woman should never take her husband shopping.
Dear Mrs. Green:
Over the past six months, your husband Royce has been causing quite a commotion in our Lawton store. We cannot tolerate this type of behavior and, as a result, will ban your entire family from shopping in any of our stores if even one more incident occurs. We have documented all incidents on our video surveillance equipment.
Three of our clerks are currently attending counseling from the trouble your husband has caused. All complaints against Mr. Green have been compiled and are listed below.
