Sometimes a witty answer can have hilarious and unexpected results. These stories highlight instances when a flash of humor made things right.
One late evening, a husband texted his wife, asking her to make his favorite dinner and wash his soiled clothing before he came home. It surprised me that no one responded. Unfazed, he texted his wife again, telling her that he was going to purchase her a new automobile and that his pay had increased. “OMG, really?” the horrified wife exclaimed in response. “No, I just wanted to make sure you got my first message,” the astute spouse retorted. Their chat took on a lighthearted tone thanks to the husband’s quick thinking.
In another tale, a guy found his ten-year wife packing her luggage when he got home. Perplexed, he inquired about her destination. With confidence, his wife answered, “I’m heading to Las Vegas! I’ve discovered that some men will pay me $500 in cash to provide the services I perform for you without charge. The man, taken aback by her disclosure, considered for a while before choosing to pack his own bags. He said, “I’m going to Las Vegas with you,” in response to his wife’s questions about his behavior. How are you going to survive on $1,000 a year? I’m curious! His wife was dumbfounded by his unexpected remark.
Another time, I saw a small elderly woman waiting calmly for a space in a packed parking lot. But then a young man in a brand-new red Mercedes sped by her and pulled at the very area she was staring at. The old woman approached the man, agitated, and said, “I was going to park there!” With an arrogant demeanor, the man answered, “That’s what you can do when you’re young and bright.” The elderly woman laughed at this clever return that emphasized the gap in generations.
These amusing tales serve as a helpful reminder that having a sharp sense of humor and fast thinking can produce unexpected results in day-to-day situations. Thus, accept your wit and allow it to lighten up and make you giggle in conversations.
