A couple was going out

A couple was going out for the evening to celebrate their anniversary.

The taxi arrived, and, just as they started out the door, their dog shot back into the house.

They didn’t want the dog shut inside all night, so the wife went out to the taxi while the husband took care of the dog.

The wife, not wanting it known that their home would be empty all evening, explained to the driver, “My husband will be here in a moment. He’s just saying good-bye to my mother.”

When the breathless husband finally climbed into the cab, he said, “Sorry I took so long, but I had to poke that stupid bitch with a coat hanger to get her to come out from under the bed!

Then I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from scratching and biting me as I hauled her bum downstairs and tossed her in the backyard!”

The silence in the cab was deafening.
