A wife found herself in a precarious situation when her husband unexpectedly walked through the front door while she was in bed with her lover. Panicked, she whispered to her lover to remain still, hoping her husband’s intoxicated state would prevent him from noticing the extra pair of feet in the bed.
However, a few minutes later, the husband’s gaze fell upon the six feet sticking out from under the covers. His drunken haze momentarily lifted, and he turned to his wife with a puzzled expression.
“Hey, there are six feet in this bed,” he slurred. “There should only be four. What’s going on?” His wife quickly came up with a clever response, attributing his mistake to his inebriated state.
“Get out of bed and count again,” she suggested. “You’ll see better from over there.” The husband obligingly climbed out of bed and began to count.
One, two, three, four… he muttered to himself. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he looked at his wife with a hint of realization. But it was too late; he had already fallen into his wife’s trap, and his response left no doubt that he had indeed miscounted.
