Wit

Yesterday, shortly after lunch, my friend Jim and I were watching “The Sons of Katie Elder” in the smoking room at my tobacconist while we smoked our pipes. There was another gentleman with us who was smoking a cigar. I didn’t catch his name as he didn’t introduce himself.

As we sat there, an attractive forty-something woman breezed into the lounge.

“Hi Dawn!” the gentleman exclaimed upon seeing her.

“The woman looked at Jim and I, smiled, and dead-panned, “Sorry to interrupt but I’ve come to pick my husband up from day-care.”

The unnamed gentleman gave us a wan smile as he stubbed his cigar out in the ashtry, got up, and followed his very witty wife down the hall.

I’m still laughing.

Thanks for sharing Neill, It's very funny. However, I'd better keep this one away from my spouse. :)
