The Blue Silk Pajamas

A man calls home to his wife and says:

“Honey, I’ve been invited to go fishing in Scotland with my boss and some of his friends. We’ll be gone for a week.

This is a great chance for me to get that promotion I’ve been wanting, so could you pack me enough clothes for a week, set out my rod and tackle box, and I’ll swing by the house to pick everything up.

Oh, and please pack my new blue silk pajamas.”

The wife thinks it sounds a little fishy, but being a good wife, she does exactly as he asked.

The following weekend he returns home a bit tired but otherwise in good spirits.

The wife asks, “Did you catch many fish?”

“Loads,” he says. “Salmon, brown trout, a few pike. But why didn’t you pack my blue silk pajamas like I asked?”

The wife replies, “I did. They were in your tackle box.”
