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.”

Moments later, the man from the Volkswagen arrived, explaining he was simply waiting when the fridge struck. He too was sent to hell.

I had to break in. I even got a speeding ticket. The shop was crowded, and the phone never stopped ringing…”
