Difficult Question

A man is sitting on his front stoop staring morosely at the ground when his neighbour strolls over. The neighbour tries to start a conversation several times, but the older man barely responds. Finally, the neighbour asks what the problem is.

"Well," the man says, "I ran afoul of one of those questions women ask. Now I'm in the doghouse."

"What kind of question?" the neighbour asks.

"My wife asked me if I would still love her when she was old, fat and ugly."

"That's easy," says the neighbour. "You just say, 'Of course I will'".

"Yeah," says the other man, "that's what I meant to say. But what came out was, 'Of course I do.'"

but as Confucious says "Wife who put husband in doghouse soon find him in cathouse."

Illtcklu said:

"Yeah," says the other man, "that's what I meant to say. But what came out was, 'Of course I do.'"

LOL - ya know, I knew where this was heading.

It's only a matter of time before you too make this kind of slip, Dan. It happens to us all. It really isn't fair.... them women just keep talking to us and asking us questions, no matter how engrosing our TV program is. Sooner or later this kind of mistake in inevitible.
