“Honey, I’ve been asked to go fishing in China with my boss for a week. This is a great opportunity for me to get a 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, and please pack my new blue silk pajamas!”
The wife thinks this sounds a bit fishy, but being a good wife, she did exactly as her husband asked.
The following weekend, he came home a little tired but looking good.
The wife welcomed him and asked,
“Did you catch many fish?”
He said,
“Yes, lots of salmon, bluegill, and a few swordfish. But why didn’t you pack my blue silk pajamas?”
