A man phones his wife and asks her:
“Honey I’ve been asked to go fishing in China with my boss for a week.
This is a good opportunity for me to get the promotion.
So could you please pack enough clothes for a week, set out my rod & fishing box.
We’re leaving from office & I’ll swing by the house to pick my things, Oh, Please pack my new blue silk pyjamas!
”
The wife noticed that there’s something fishy in her husband’s story but since she was a good wife she listened to her husband and did exactly as he told her.
After a week the husband returned home, looking a bit tired but happy to have done a good job.
The wife immediately started asking about the weekend, how it was, if he’d caught any fish and so on.
The husband said:
“Yes, Lots of Salmon, Blue gill & a few Swordfish, But why didn’t you pack my blue silk pyjamas?”
To which the wife responded:
“I did..„.They’re in your fishing box”.
