The guy of the home asks his wife about her past of having sex with other men in the middle of their first night together as husband and wife. Once the question is posed, the woman doesn’t respond.
The man asks another question. Just let me know everything is well. With how many different men have you engaged in sexual activity?
Looking up at the ceiling, his wife maintains her complete and total silence.
The man expresses regret and apologizes. If I aggravated you, I apologize. I merely thought we could count on one another”
His wife hasn’t responded at all.
It’s OK, he says, throwing in the towel. Please, I beseech you, control your rage.
The man starts to hold and kiss the woman as she keeps her mouth shut, showing that he cares for her.
The instant he starts doing this, his wife seems to have a flash of insight, stops gazing up at the ceiling, looks at him, and demands angrily, “What are you doing?”
Oh, dear! You caused me to miscount.
