Infidelity often breeds a heightened sense of panic and a desperate need to conceal the truth, as one wife discovered in a rather comical turn of events.
As she lay in bed with her secret lover, the unmistakable sound of her husband’s key turning in the lock sent a jolt of adrenaline through her veins. Quick thinking would be the order of the day if she was to avoid being caught red-handed.
A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening the front door.
“Hurry!” she said
“Stand in the corner.” She quickly rubbed baby oil all over him and then she dusted him with talcum powder.
“Don’t move until I tell you to,” she whispered.
“Just pretend you’re a statue.”
“What’s this, honey?” the husband inquired as he entered the room.
“Oh, it’s just a statue,” she replied nonchalantly. “The Smiths bought one for their bedroom. I liked it so much, I got one for us too.”
No more was said about the statue, not even later that night when they went to sleep. Around two in the morning the husband got out of bed, went to the kitchen and returned a while later with a sandwich and a glass of milk.
“Here,” he said to the ‘statue’, “eat something. I stood like an idiot at the Smiths’ for three days and nobody offered me as much as a glass of water.”
The quick thinking and resourcefulness of the wife in covering up the lover’s presence is quite impressive. The use of baby oil and talcum powder to disguise him as a statue is a unique and comical solution.
The husband’s nonchalant acceptance of the “statue” in their bedroom, without questioning its sudden appearance, contributes to the overall absurdity and humor of the situation.
The final punchline, where the husband chides the “statue” for not being offered any refreshments at the Smiths’, underscores the husband’s obliviousness and provides a satisfying conclusion to the story.
Overall, this anecdote demonstrates a clever use of irony, situational humor, and the dynamics of marital infidelity to craft an entertaining and memorable tale. The unexpected twists and the husband’s unwitting participation in the deception make this a delightfully amusing story.
