The wife calmly wipes the counter and responds with a knowing smile. “Oh, I packed them exactly where you asked me to place them.” The husband looks puzzled, trying to remember where that could be. She turns and walks away slowly, already satisfied with her work. Before leaving the room, she delivers the punchline:

“Check your tackle box — I figured your boss might appreciate the silky surprise more than the fish.”
After that trip, the husband never mentioned a mysterious ‘promotion opportunity’ again. But he did suddenly prefer going fishing… alone. And he never asked for silk pajamas ever again.
Lesson learned: never underestimate a clever wife.
