Husband: Honey, it looks like I’m not going to make it,
so I want to get something off my chest.
Wife: What is it, dear?
Husband: I’ve been having an affair with your best friend,
Julia, for the past year.
Wife: Oh yes.
I know all about it.
Husband: You do?
Wife: Yes dear, why do you think I poisoned you?
Jack’s wife looked at him, raised an eyebrow, and replied:
“If you mow the lawn without clothes, the neighbors might think we can’t afford a lawn service!”
Or another version:
“Honey, if you mow the lawn without clothes, our property value might go down!”
Her clever response gives a humorous perspective on Jack’s “secret” desire to beat the heat by skipping the clothes,
adding a funny twist to the idea of being a bit too comfortable in the neighborhood!
