A Dog Walks Into A Butcher Shop.
The butcher asks, “What do you want?”
The dog points to steak in a glass case.
“How many pounds?” The dog barks twice.
“Anything else?” The dog points to some pork chops and barks four times.
So the butcher wraps up a two-pound steak and four pork chops, and places the bag in the dog’s mouth.
He then takes money from a purse tied around the dog’s neck, and sees him out.
A customer, who has been watching in amazement, follows the dog to a house several blocks away, where it rings the doorbell to be let in.
As the owner appears at the door, the customer says, “What a remarkable dog!”
“Remarkable?” snorts the owner.
“This is the second time this week he’s forgotten his keys.”
NEW JOKE
A Man Calls His Wife
Sometimes the funniest stories come not from what’s said, but from what’s left unsaid. This little tale about a husband, a wife, and a pair of silk pajamas has been making people laugh for years — and for good reason.
It all begins with a phone call.
One afternoon, a man phoned his wife from work sounding excited. “Honey,” he said, “I’ve just been invited to go fishing out of town with my boss and some colleagues for a whole week. This could be a big opportunity for me — you know how much I want that promotion. Spending some time with the boss outside the office could really help.”
He continued with a list of requests: “Can you please pack enough clothes for the week, get my rod and tackle box ready, and don’t forget to pack my new blue silk pajamas?”
The wife was quiet for a moment. Something about his tone made her suspicious. Still, she didn’t argue. She wanted to be supportive, so she carefully packed his bags. Shirts and pants for each day, a warm jacket in case the weather turned cold, his fishing gear, and yes — those shiny new pajamas he seemed oddly concerned about.
As he headed out the door, she kissed him goodbye and wished him luck.
The week crawled by slowly. The wife thought about him often, picturing him out on the lake casting lines and telling stories with his boss. But every so often, that little nagging voice in her mind wondered: Why was he so insistent about those silk pajamas?
Still, she brushed it aside. She trusted him, and she wanted to believe he really was out fishing.
Finally, after seven long days, the husband returned home. He looked tired, with a sunburn across his nose, but he also looked pleased with himself.
The Questions Begin
The moment he walked through the door, the wife bombarded him with questions.
“So, how was the trip? Did you enjoy yourself? Did you catch any fish? Was your boss impressed?”
He nodded along, giving vague answers about how nice it was to be outdoors, how the guys enjoyed their time together, and how it had been a “productive” week.
Then the wife smiled knowingly and asked one last question — the one she had been saving all week.
“Well, did you use the new blue silk pajamas I packed for you?”
The Punchline
The husband looked puzzled. “Pajamas? No, I never even saw them. I didn’t need them on the trip.”
The wife folded her arms, raised an eyebrow, and calmly replied:
“Oh, really? That’s strange… because I folded them up and tucked them neatly inside your fishing tackle box.”
The look on his face said it all.
The Lesson
The story always gets a laugh, but it also carries a gentle reminder: sometimes our partners know more than we think. In this case, the wife’s sharp instincts and clever little trick left her husband caught — hook, line, and sinker.
It’s a classic example of husband and wife humor, one that older readers especially love because it blends wit, marriage dynamics, and a surprise ending that never gets old.
