A man phones home from his office

A man phones home from his office and tells his wife: “Something has just come up. I have a chance to go fishing for a week. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime. We leave right away. So pack my clothes, my fishing equipment, and especially my blue silk shorts. I’ll be home in an hour to pick them up.”

He goes home in a hurry and grabs everything and rushes off.

A week later he returns.

His wife asks: “Did you have a good trip, dear?”

He says: ” Oh yes, great! But you forgot to pack my blue silk shorts.”

His wife smiles and says, “Oh no I didn’t. I put them in your tackle box!”
