A man called home to his wife and said, " Julie love, I have been asked to go fishing up in the Lake District with my boss & several of his friends . We'll be gone for a week. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting, so could you please pack enough clothes for a week and set out my rod and fishing box. We're leaving from the office & I'll swing by the house to pick up my things - Oh! and please pack my new blue silk pyjamas. " The wife thinks this sounds a bit fishy but being the good wife she is, did exactly what her husband asked.

The following weekend he came home a little tired but otherwise looking good. The wife welcomed him home and asked if he caught many fish? He said, "Yes! We fished two or three lakes and I caught lots of rainbow trout. But why didn't you pack my new blue silk pyjamas like I asked you ?" The wife replied, "I did. They're in your fishing box ..."

NEVER lie to a woman !
