During dinner, Tom smirked at his wife Lisa across the table. “Honey,” he said between bites, “if we wash your pants in cold water, do you think they’ll shrink to fit?” He chuckled at his own joke while Lisa simply smiled and continued eating.
The next day, Tom discovered the consequences of his humor. As he dressed for work, he found all his underwear suspiciously stiff. “Lisa!” he shouted, “Why do my boxers feel like they’re lined with sandpaper?”
Lisa appeared in the doorway with an innocent smile. “Oh that? Just some extra-strength starch, dear. Thought your… manhood could use some extra support.” Tom’s jaw dropped as Lisa walked away laughing. Message received loud and clear.
