A husband and wife were sitting on the couch, watching TV. Suddenly, the wife looked at her husband and said, “You know, dear, I think I’ve finally figured out the greatest mystery of our marriage.”
The husband, startled, slowly lowered his remote control. “Oh? And what’s that, darling?”
She smiled sweetly. “I’ve realized that whenever you say, ‘I’ll help you with that right after this commercial,’ the commercial you’re referring to is actually a three-hour football game.”
The husband cleared his throat, adjusting his glasses. “Nonsense! That’s just a coincidence! Besides, you know how hard it is to find the remote control sometimes. It just disappears!”
The wife picked up the remote from under the cushion he was sitting on. “Yes, it’s truly baffling how it always ends up exactly where I can find it when you’re busy.”
