Leftovers & Hand-Me-Downs
A wife, arriving home from a shopping trip, was horrified to find her husband in bed with a lovely young woman. Just as the wife was about to storm out of the house, her husband stopped her with these words:
“Before you leave, I want you to hear how all this came about.
“Driving home along the highway, I saw this young woman looking tired and bedraggled, so I brought her home and made her a meal from the roast beef you had forgotten about in the refrigerator.
“She had only some worn sandals on her feet, so I gave her a pair of good shoes you had discarded because they had gone out of style.
“She was cold so I gave her a sweater I bought you for your birthday that you never wore because the color didn’t suit you..
“Her pants were worn out, so I gave her a pair of yours that were perfectly good, but too small for you now.
“Then, when she was about to leave the house, she paused and asked: ‘Is there anything else your wife doesn’t use anymore?’”
