The Note Under the Bed
Marriage has its ups and downs, and sometimes spouses feel unappreciated. This joke gives a hilarious twist to such a scenario with a wife’s attempt to teach her husband a lesson, only to be hilariously outsmarted.
A woman, feeling annoyed because her husband was late home again, left a note saying, “I’ve had enough and have left you. Don’t bother coming after me.” She then hid under the bed to see his reaction.

The husband eventually came home. She heard him in the kitchen before he entered the bedroom, where he found the note she left. After reading it, he seemed calm, picked up the phone, and spoke in a rather cheery tone, “She’s finally gone… Can’t wait to see you. We’ll do all the naughty things you like.”

He hung up, grabbed his keys, and left. She heard the car drive away but when she came out, tears in her eyes, she found the note: “I can see your feet. Went to get bread, back in 5 minutes.”
The Mischievous Grandmas on a Bench

Soon, they saw an old man walking by and decided to have a little fun. “We can guess exactly how old you are,” one called out. The old man scoffed, “There’s no way you can guess it, you silly women.” “Sure, just drop your pants, we’ll tell you your age instantly!” they teased.

Amused and intrigued, he obliged. The grandmas whispered among themselves, before exclaiming with confidence, “You’re 91 years old!” Surprised, he asked how they knew. Giggling, they said, “We were at your birthday party yesterday!”

Enraged, he lifted his refrigerator and threw it at the unsuspecting man, but then had a heart attack and died. In heaven, St. Peter listened and directed him to hell.
Moments later, the man from the Volkswagen arrived, explaining he was simply waiting when the fridge struck. He too was sent to hell.

The woman, in tears when her husband arrived home, accused the pharmacist of insults over the phone. Her irate husband stormed to the chemist but was halted as the pharmacist started his justification. “Listen, my alarm didn’t go off, I was late, then locked out of my house and car. I had to break in. I even got a speeding ticket. The shop was crowded, and the phone never stopped ringing…”

After coins spilt and perfume bottles shattered, finally, the ringing phone was answered. “It was your wife inquiring about using a rectal thermometer, so I just explained.”
