A man calls his wife and says:
“Sweetheart, my boss has invited me to go fishing in China for a week. This could be a great chance for me to secure that promotion. Could you please pack enough clothes for the week and get my fishing rod and tackle box ready? I’ll stop by the house after work to grab my things. Oh, and don’t forget to pack my new blue silk pajamas!”
The wife sensed something was off about her husband’s story, but being a supportive partner, she followed his instructions and prepared everything he asked for.
After a week, the husband came home, looking a bit worn out but pleased with his accomplishments.
The wife eagerly began to ask him about the weekend, how it went, and if he caught any fish.
The husband replied, “Yes, I caught plenty of salmon, bluegill, and even a few swordfish. But why didn’t you pack my blue silk pajamas?”
The wife answered, “I did! They’re in your fishing box.”
