For Better or Worse JOW #1314

My jokes this week are about holy matrimony; you know that promise to have and to hold for better or worse… with no expiration date.  There are lots of jokes and observations about that institution: here are some:

 

A man doesn’t know what true happiness is until he’s married. And then it’s too late.

 

Single guys often dream about having a smart, beautiful, caring wife. So do most married men

 

Marriage is grand — and divorce is at least 100 grand.

 

A retired husband is often a wife’s full-time job.

 

Love is a long, sweet dream and marriage is the alarm clock.

 

Marriage is just planning for dinner while eating breakfast.

 

Do you know why the king of hearts married the queen of hearts? They were perfectly suited for each other.

 

The wedding made everyone so emotional, even the cake was in tiers

Marriage is when a man and woman become one. The trouble starts when they try to decide which one.

 

You're the other half to my equation and then sum.

 

When she told us her fiancée was an author, we knew she had found Mr Write.

 

Marriage is realizing that "I’ll do it in a minute" has no actual concept of time attached to it.

 

Marriages are made in heaven. Then again, so are thunder, lightning, tornadoes and hail.

 

At every party, there are two kinds of people: those who want to go home and those who don't. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other.

 

Wife: “Our new neighbor always kisses his wife when he leaves for work. Why don’t you do that?”

Husband: “How can I? I don’t even know her.”

 

A wife once told his husband, “If a ship was sinking and there was only one life vest in the entire ship, I would miss you dearly, honey.”

 

I just saw two nuclear technicians getting married. The bride was radiant and the groom was glowing

 

A man fell in love with a pencil.  The problems began when he introduced his parents to his bride, 2B.

 

My wife says I never listen... or something like that.

            Or put another way,

Wife: “You never listen to me!”
Husband: “Sure, I’ll have another beer.”

 

What do you instantly know about a well-dressed man? His wife is good at picking out clothes.

 

My wife and I have been married for over 25 years, and she still drives me crazy. Lucky for her, I’m an excellent navigator.

 

The only time my wife agrees with me is when I say I’m wrong.

 

I accidentally handed my wife a glue stick instead of lipstick.  She still isn't talking to me.

 

My wife and I took out life insurance policies on each other. So, now it’s just a waiting game.

 

When I first started dating my wife she asked me what some of my dreams were. I told her one was about a T-Rex who didn’t get a job because he couldn’t tie a tie. She meant goals.

 

Here is a poem about marriage from Ogden Nash

"To keep your marriage brimming with love in the loving cup,

whenever you’re wrong, admit it; whenever you’re right, shut up." 

Which led to some marriage quotes

"In every good marriage, it helps sometimes to be a little deaf." —Ruth Bader Ginsburg

"My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me." —Winston Churchill

The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing—and then marry him." —Cher

"Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes" —Jim Carrey

"Marry a man your own age; as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight." —Phyllis Diller

If it weren’t for marriage, men would go through life thinking they had no faults at all.

"I'm married to a very unusual person, but maybe it took a very unusual person to be willing to marry me." —Fiona Shaw

 

A trucker who has been out on the road for two months stops at a brothel outside Atlanta. He walks straight up to the Madam, drops down $500, and says, “I want your ugliest woman and a grilled cheese sandwich!”

The Madam is astonished. “But sir, for that kind of money you could have one of my prettiest ladies and a three-course meal.”

The trucker replies, “Listen darlin’, I’m not horny—I’m just homesick.”

 

A very successful and respected couple had three sons, each of whole became highly successful and well-regarded. One son became a doctor, another an engineer and the last was a lawyer. Every year they gathered for Christmas and soon the children’s spouses and own children began to join in.

including a number of highly respectable lawyers.  Then one Christmas, the patriarch stood and said “Children, we don’t want to ruin this holiday for you, but there is something we need to tell you….your mother and I were…never actually married.”
The matriarch bursts out sobbing and her husband comforts her. Everyone stares in shock at the scene and nobody says a word.
Finally, the wife of one of the lawyers says, “Well don’t just stand there—one of you bastards say something.”

And finally a left-over nun joke

While shopping in a food store, two nuns happened to pass by the beer cooler. One nun said to the other, "Wouldn't a nice cool beer or two taste wonderful on a hot summer evening?"
The second nun answered "Indeed it would Sister, but I wouldn't feel comfortable buying beer as I am certain that it would cause a scene at the checkout counter."
"I can handle that without a problem" she replied as she picked up a six pack and headed for the checkout.
The cashier had a surprised look on his face when the two nuns arrived with a six pack of beer.
"We use beer for washing our hair" the nun said, "A shampoo, of sorts, if you will."
Without blinking an eye, the cashier reached under the counter, pulled out a package of pretzel sticks and placed them in the bag with the beer. He then looked the nun straight in the eye, smiled and said "The curlers are on the house."

 

Ice Cold JOW #1313

I live in southeast Texas where it is hot four or five months of the year and cold maybe a week.  It is January, so it is cold.  I watch the local news doing special after special report on how water can become hard and slippery when it gets below freezing, thus, anyone driving a car when it’s freezing will have a wreck.  So Houston is essentially shutting down.  So all the talk about ICE in my neighborhood has to do with the stuff we usually put in our drinks and is now on some of our roads.  Thus, my theme this week is ice..

And finally a really cool joke

Once upon a time an elderly couple ventured to an old town with not many inhabitants. The town being located fairly high up north as well as the harsh winter season led to it not being the most prosperous place at the current time. Everyone there was cold, hungry and they mainly kept to their own.
They went to the baker and asked to purchase some pastries which he gladly let them. They spoke for a bit and after a while he recommended they go see the local pub. After a couple drinks a man entered the bar. He was the town's beekeeper, and understandably the weather was a pure nightmare for him. He was out of a job due to all his bees having died over the cold winter. They invited him to their table and after a few more drinks they became friends.
Later that night the couple decided that they were going to host a competition as a way to try and bring the townsfolk together, and they figured the only competition able to take place somewhere this cold was an Ice Sculpture beauty contest. They pitched the idea to the mayor, invested some of their money into a first prize and informed the townsfolk. Funny enough the 3 people participating ended up being the Baker, Beekeeper and the barman.
The competition started and they all started going at their blocks of ice. The baker, being a sportsman made a perfect copy of Aragorn during the battle of Minas Tirith. It surely was one of the coolest sculptures the couple had ever seen. The beekeeper, created a masterpiece that looked like a frozen lake in the woods. It used the glimmer of the sun to sparkle a flat area that completely took everyone by surprise. The barman, being already a professional ice sculptor created an incredibly complex shape that looked like a tornado being twisted into the ground.
The couple thought for a second and then declared the frozen lake to be the winner. Both the others protested vividly, but the couple reminded them that it was a beauty contest after all. Whilst the Baker had the coolest project and the barman had the most complex there was no doubt,

That beauty was in the ice of the bee holder.

 

Yo Grandmother JOW #1312

 

This set of jokes is in honor of and about all those fortunate women who are grandmothers.   You would think this would be a sappy set of jokes, but actually there is an edge to some of them, grandmas being old and closer to the passing on.  And some of those grandmas are surprisingly spicy. 

 

How does Grandma fix a broken cookie?
With icing glue, of course

 

My grandma is 80% Irish.

Her name is Iris.

 

I recommend you put your grandma on speed-dial.

Call it Instagram.

 

A scammer called my grandma and said he had all her passwords

she got a pen and paper and said 'Thank God for that, what are they?

 

What does my grandma and a Modern website have in common?

Making me Accept the Cookies on every visit.

 

Shoutout to my grandma

That’s the only way she can hear

 

You wanna hear about something ironic? My grandma’s zodiac sign was Cancer.

She was killed... by a giant crab.

 

I’ll never forget my grandma’s final words:

“What are you doing in here with that gun?”

My mom told me, when I visit grandma in hospital, I should take her flowers.

So, when grandma wasn't looking, I took them.

 

My grandmother retired as a math teacher.

She is figuring out the aftermath.

 

Grandma: What's the German guy who's hiding my medicine called?

Grandson: Alzheimer's, Grandma, Alzheimer’s.

 

Why was grandma so fascinated by the reversible sweater she was knitting? 

She wanted to see how it turned out.

 

They gave grandma chopsticks to try to eat oriental noodles.  She didn’t manage to finish the meal but she was able to knit a sweater from the noodles.

 

What did grandpa name the Italian restaurant he started in grandma’s memory?  Pasta Way.

 

My grandma was recently beaten to death by my grandad.

It wasn't with a club or his fists - he just died first.

 

Grandma tried to not show favorites

But her will was a dead giveaway

 

My grandma asked me if I would visit her after she gets out of the hospital...

I told her no.  I don't like going to graveyards.

 

Before our grandma died, her last words were, “Don’t make the funeral too early, I am not a mourning person.”

 

At my grandma’s funeral there was a bowl of her favorite candies on the table. They were bereave-mints.

 

My grandma was known all over town for her delicious strawberries. She made me promise that when she died I would plant strawberries over her grave so that everyone could visit her and enjoy them. I fulfilled her wish.

She’s dead and berried.

 

A little girl asks her mum: “Mummy, why do we never visit grandma?”

“Oh darling, you don’t remember? She fell of the balcony…”
“And where is she now?”
“Well… she went to heaven”
The little girl thinks about it for a moment… “Wow, that’s a big bounce”

 

A dying grandma tells her grandchild, "I’m going leave you my farm. That includes the barn, livestock, the harvest, the tractor, and other equipment, the farmhouse and $24,548,750.45 in cash."

The grandchild absolutely floored says, "Oh grandma, you are SO generous! I didn't even know you had a farm. Where is it?"

With her last breath, Grandma whispered, "On Facebook...

 

Grandma, how old are you?

"A woman never reveals her age", she replied to her young grandson.
He said "Alright, just give me the first digit"
"Six" she said.
"And the second digit?"
Grandma sighed. "Seven."
"And the third?"

 

Boy aged four: Dad, I’ve decided to get married.

Dad: Wonderful; do you have a girl in mind?!
Boy: Yes... grandma! She said she loves me, I love her, too....and she’s the best cook & storyteller in the whole world!
Dad: That’s nice, but we have a small problem.
Boy: What problem?!
Dad: She happens to be my mother. How can you marry my mother?
Boy: Why not?! You married mine!

 

 

Here is a nice story about a grandmother.

I grew up with two brothers and a sister. Our parents tried their best - but it was difficult for them to make time for each of us as individuals. That's why each of the kids alternated spending a weekend at grandma's every month.
I always looked forward to that Saturday morning breakfast. Grandma would make her tea and then she would make me my favorite breakfast - waffles and country ham.
As I got older, grandma let me help in the kitchen. My first job was to beat the eggs. My grandma being a bit disorganized in the kitchen, we would always joke about how long it took her to find the whisk. "It's going to be lunch by the time I find it!" she'd often say.
When she died, my grandma left most of her kitchenware to me. Now I make waffles for MY kids.
The other week, we had a house fire. After we got everyone to safety, I just had to go back in. I couldn't imagine losing my grandma's heirlooms - and the kitchen was right by the side door. My wife's still mad at me for going back in - she says I could have died. But I'm safe, and I'd say it was worth the whisk.

 

And finally, this one is a little too close to home.

The young child saw her granny taking her medications and asked, "Grandma, why do you need to take all those pills?"
"Well, your grandma needs to take the green medicine for my headaches, but the green pills give me asthma. So, I need to take these yellow pills to treat the asthma, but those pills always make me very depressed. Because of the depression, I have to take some black pills, but those always give me high blood pressure. To cure the high blood pressure, I have to take the red pills, but those always make me horny. And that's why grandpa has to take the blue pills."

 

 

Nun shall Pass JOW #1311

My theme for this this week is nuns.  Once quite common, nuns are becoming increasingly rare in this culture, but the image of religious women in their black and white habits is still strong.  Why did I pick this subject for my jokes?  I simply recalled a nun joke and the rest just flowed.

~~~~

What’s a nun’s favorite kind of bird? A “cardinal.”

 

What do you call families whose only connection is that they have family members in the same convent.

Nun-related

 

What do you call a sleepwalking nun?

A roamin’ Catholic.

 

What do you call a stealthy group of nuns with swords?

Nun-jas.

 

What did the priest say to get the nuns to stop spraying perfume?

Stop this nun scents!

 

Nuns love to play hide and seek. It’s a great way to test their “cloister-phobia.”

 

What do you call an unusual home for nuns?

Nun-convent-ional.

 

What do you call a nun that won’t work?

Nun-functional.

 

A nun walked into a bar with her clothes on inside out. The bartender asked about it, and she replied, “It’s a bad habit.“

 

Two nuns walk into a bar.

The bartender is surprised and said, "Sisters, but are you sure this is the right place for you?"
"We know it's not, but the reverend told us to help sinful souls. We thought we could find one here."
The next day, two rabbis walk into the bar. The bartender also asks them.
"We know this is a sinful place, but the synagogue is just being renovated, and we thought we would sit here to discuss religious issues."
On the third day, two Irish priests walk into the bar. The bartender asks one of them,
"Father, I'm surprised to see you here."
"Why, my son?"
"It's only 10 a.m., and I've never seen you here before 11"

 

The wise old Mother Superior from County Tipperary was dying. The nuns gathered around her bed, trying to make her comfortable. They gave her some warm milk to drink, but she refused it. One of the nuns added a generous amount of Irish whiskey to the milk and offered it again. Mother Superior drank it all and said, “Don’t sell that cow.“

 

Two nuns who worked in a hospital were out driving in the country when they ran out of gas. As they were standing beside their car on the shoulder of the road, a truck approached them

Noticing the nuns in distress, the trucker stopped and offered to help. When the nuns explained they had run out of gas, the trucker said he would be more than happy to drain some from his tank, but he didn't have a bucket or a can.
Hearing this, one of the nuns dug out a clean bedpan from the trunk and asked the trucker if it would do. He said it would and proceeded to drain a couple of quarts into the pan. He then handed the pan to the sisters, got back into his truck and waved goodbye.
While the nuns were carefully pouring the precious fuel from the bed pan into their gas tank, a cop happened by. He stopped and watched them for a few moments, then said, "Sisters, somehow I don't think that's going to work, but I sure do admire your faith!"

 

A nun ruined her uniform and asked her tailor for a replacement.

Nearly three weeks later she angrily calls him asking what’s taking so long.

“I don’t know why you’re upset.” - He coolly replies. “It takes at least 21 days to form a new habit.”

 

Two nuns were riding their bikes together on their way to church one Sunday. The leading nun took new route that led to a steep downhill run over an old cobblestone road that ran right up to the church.  They held on desperately on the perilous ride down.

The first nun says to the second nun, "I've never come this way before".
The second nun says, "Yeah, I think was the cobblestones".

 

A man was on a business trip in New York and headed to a bar for a drink. Standing outside the bar was a nun holding a tin cup. As the man threw a few bucks into her cup, the nun launched into a long tirade about the evils of alcohol. Annoyed, the man said, “Sister, have you ever tried alcohol?”

“Of course not,” gasped the nun.

The man smiled and said, “Well, how about you try just one drink to see for yourself?”

The nun hesitated but agreed, saying, “I can’t be seen in a bar, but you could bring me a drink in this tin cup.”

Inside, the man asked the bartender for two scotch on the rocks, one in a tin cup. The bartender sighed and said, “Is that darn nun out there again?”

 

Three nuns die and go to Heaven.

At the Pearly Gates, St. Peter tells them that they must each answer a biblical question to get in, but he reassures them that they're quite easy.

"Who was the first woman?" He says to the first nun. "Eve."

The gates swing open, and she enters.

"Where did Eve live?" He says to the second nun.

"The Garden of Eden."

The gates swing open once more.

St. Peter says to the third nun.

"Now, seeing as you're the Mother Superior, you must answer a more difficult question. What was the first thing Eve said when she saw Adam?"

"Oh, that's a hard one..."

The gates swing open.

 

Two nuns are walking down the street when they notice that a man is following them.

Sister Michael, the older and wiser nun, says to the young and naïve Sister Patrick, "See that crossroad ahead? You go left and I'll go right: he can't follow us both. We'll meet back at the Abbey."

So, the sisters parted and the man followed Sister Michael. Sister Patrick was anxiously waited at the Abbey until Sister Michael returned alone.

"Thank the Lord you are alright!", exclaims Sister Patrick. "But what happened to that man?"

Well, replied Sister Michael, "After a few minutes, I stopped and pulled up my dress." Sister Patrick stares in shock. "Then," continues Sister Michael, "he stopped and pulled down his trousers."

Sister Patrick gasps. "Oh Sister, why would you do that?"

"Because" explains Sister Michael, "a nun with her dress up can run faster than a man with his trousers down!"

  

Them Changes JOW #1310

A new year always brings thoughts of change.  Well, it does for me, even at my age, kinda…. at this point in my life, I seem to have things pretty much figured out and am aware that not all change is good.  Change can be like a bad haircut: you do not realize how bad it is until it is too late.   I threw in some punctuation jokes, just because as I am writing these days, such things are on my mind.  Here are some short, fast, jokes for your amusement.

``````

I changed my routine now I wake up early and still get nothing done.

 

I thought about changing careers, but I could not find a new one that allowed naps.

A small town's population never changes.

When a man’s girlfriend got pregnant everything about him changed; his address, phone number…

 

Have you heard about the gorilla who got a name change? Peaches the gorilla escaped from the zoo, but when they got her back they had to change it because it turns out she had become an Ape Re-caught.

I asked the cashier “Could you give me small change instead of bills? I need money for the bus “

She said “That’s fare”

Interesting punctuation thoughts

 

It’s amazing how a colon can completely change the meaning of a sentence.

A woman without her man is nothing.

A woman: without her man is nothing.

Or 
-Jane ate her friend's sandwich.
-Jane ate her friend's colon.

Also, commas,

Let’s eat, Grandma.

Let’s eat Grandma

or

-Ben is in a hurry.
-Ben is in a coma.

Semicolons matter, too

I’m sorry; I Iove you.

I’m sorry I love you.

Dashes can be important

Twenty five-dollar bills= $100

Twenty five dollar bills= $25

Period placement is crucial

Eat your dinner.

Eat. You’re dinner!

And finally

The mayor of a small town received a letter of complaint from a member of his community. After taking the letter from the envelope, he noticed there was only one word on it: “Fool!” The mayor furrowed his brow and said, “Hmm. They signed the letter, but what’s the complaint?” 

Go for the Goal JOW#1309

 

The calendar year has come to an end.  For me and mine, 2025 was a pretty good year.  The new year is a great time for reflecting.  Well, unless you are a vampire.  So, a whole year has passed. Now it is time for that ridiculous tradition of making New Year’s resolutions.   I can’t believe it’s been a year since I “didn’t” become a better person.  My jokes this week start off with jokes and observations about all those goals people tend to make this time of year, before the theme breaks down and I just put in some random jokes. `

I sincerely wish all of you a happy and prosperous New Year. 

Here are my last jokes of 2025.

 

New Year’s resolutions like babies? They’re fun to make but exhausting to maintain.

 

Lots of people will be looking forward to new things.  For example, Zohran Mamdani finally has his first job.

 

I did it! I followed my goal to save $50 from each paycheck.  Of course I don’t have any paychecks….

 

What is the minimum number of people does it take to have a New Years party?

Two and a fifth

 

"A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other,"

 

My goal for next year is to save enough money to make myself a Velcro wall.

And I plan on sticking to it.

 

I gave up drinking for the new year

Sorry, that came out wrong.
I gave up.
Drinking for the new year.

 

I also want to be less condescending to people.

Condescending means to talk down to someone.

 

For my New Years Resolution, I would like to be more assertive; but only if it's okay with you guys.

 

I plan on writing an entire theatrical performance made up entirely of puns.

It will be a play on words.

 

I'm thinking about going to Japan again, like last year.  Of course, I didn't go to Japan last year.   I just thought about going

 

I only had one goal in life: to become a better dad than my dad was.

My dad beat me

 

If you’re interviewing for a fast-food job they ask about your short- and long-term goals tell them this:

Short term: I want to work at McDonalds
Long term: I don’t want to work at McDonalds

 

I always try to turn the negative into the positive...

which is why I lost my job at the infectious disease clinic

 

 

I want to lose some weight

But I don't want to get caught up in one of those eat less and exercise scams.

 

My goal was to eat 1200 calories a day. I’ve been doing so great!

I’ve surpassed my goal every day so far.

 

I had a goal to lose 20 Pounds this year.  I only have 30 pounds to go

 

I'm so close to my goal weight I can taste it - cause it's the only thing I'm allowed to taste these days.

 

The wife caught me on the weight scale, sucking in my stomach.

“That won’t help you, you know?”
“Oh it helps a lot,” I replied, “it’s the only way I can see the numbers!”

 

Losing weight is like golf – I’m not very good at it.

Why is a timer like a scale?

They both measure wait.

My wife fills the dog’s water bowl with filtered water from the fridge

I asked her why

“She would do the same for me,” she replied.

 

A guy walks into a bar on New Year's Eve and orders a glass of champagne. "Happy New Years!" he shouts.

"Calm down," the bartender reprimands him. "It's still hours away."

"Sorry," the guy apologizes. "My doctor told me I sometimes suffer from premature congratulations."

 

I watched a reality show where the goal is to do as many drugs as possible without getting caught.

It's called the Tour de France.

When a man was young, he set a life goal for himself: he will buy a Lamborghini at the age of 50. This year, he’s finally achieved half of the goal.

He turned 50.

 

Man: I wish I had a Lamborghini

Woman: Do you drink beer?
Man: Yes
Woman: How many beers a day?
Man: Usually about 3
Woman: How much do you pay per beer?
Man: About $5. which includes a tip
Woman: And how long have you been drinking?
Man: About 20 years, I suppose
Woman: So a beer costs $5. and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending $45. each day and each month at $1350. In one year, it would be approximately $16,500…correct?
Man: That sounds about right
Woman: If in 1 year you spend $16,500 not accounting for inflation, the past
20 years puts your spending at $325,00. correct?
Man: More or less
Woman: If you didn’t drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have now bought a Lamborghini?!

Man: Do you drink beer?
Woman: No
Man: Where’s your Lamborghini?”

 

And finally, from the ‘can’t win file’:

Husband asking the wife:
-Darling, do you want to come with me to the gym?
*-Are you saying I'm fat??*
-No, I was just thinking that we should maybe...
*-Are you saying I'm lazy??*
-No, no! Calm down, I didn't say that..
*-Why, you think I'm hysterical??*
-No, I wasn't saying that.
*-So you are calling me a liar now??*
-God no! You know what, I go alone then.
*-Wait a minute! Why do you want to go alone!?*

A Chinese-owned social media platform has been promoting breath mints to increase sales.

It's the TikTok tic tac tactic.

 

Why do Chinese people love iPhones and Apple products?

Because the greatest gifts are the ones your children made.

 

 I wanted to play D&D all day on Christmas but...No dice.

 

Son - “Dad I want some Bitcoin for Christmas”
Dad: - “What?? Why do you need $85K for? You know how difficult it is to earn $95K dollars? You will learn difficulty of earning $70K when you get a job.”

 

A man was looking for a last-minute Christmas presents was strolling around an old antique market when he spotted a life-sized brass rat figurine pushed into a far corner of one of the shops.  The owner warned him that this particular brass figurine allegedly came with a powerful curse.  The man disparaged this as superstitious nonsense and decided to buy the figurine.  The purchase was soon made and the man departed. However, he hadn't gone too far when he noticed a rat scurrying behind him.  Within minutes, the whole area was swarming with the vermin all following the man and his brass rat. Frightened for his life, the man raced down the road with an ever-increasing number of rats in pursuit.  Hemmed in by the rushing rodents he ran out onto a dock at the edge of the bay and threw the brass rat into the water. Lo and behold all the rats ran right past the man and followed the figurine into water.  Soon the rats were all gone.
He returned to the antique market and sought out the man who had sold him the rat.

When the shopkeeper recognized him, he said, "Back again already, sir? Is there something wrong with your figurine?"
"Oh, no, not at all," replied the man, "I was just wondering if you had any brass figurines of a lawyer."

 

And finally, a gift story:

Woman visited an antique store and found a beautiful wardrobe. She decided to buy it but explained that it was too big to fit through her door.
The clerk told her that they could disassemble it, deliver it to her house and then assemble it in her bedroom. So, they did just that.
Next day woman called to the store and explained, that her house is near the railroad and last night when train was passing by, the wardrobe couldn't stand the shaking and fell apart.
The store sent out a worker to reassemble and fix the wardrobe. He made sure to tighten all the screws.
But the next day she called again and explained that once again the wardrobe broke as train was passing by.
They again send a worker, he fixes it, tighten all the screws, glues some parts and tries to shake it to make sure it is sturdy as hell.
But the next day woman called again. The worker came to her house, assembled it again and then said. "Listen, I've assembled this wardrobe twice and it broke apart both times when the train passed by. I have no idea what's going on, but there must be some loose point inside; I just can't figure out where the weakness is. I propose that I go inside the wardrobe, wait for the train, and see what exactly is causing it to fall apart so I can fix it properly."
Woman agreed, so the worker goes inside the wardrobe with a flashlight.
As the worker is observing behavior of the wardrobe, woman's husband returned from business trip. He walks into the bedroom and sees the new wardrobe.
"What a beautiful wardrobe you bought" he said to his wife and proceeded to walk to the wardrobe and open it up only to see a man inside.
The worker look him dead in the eye and says: "You know, just beat me up now because you won't believe me when I tell you that I am waiting here for the train."
