A Lost Earring

The husband said, “I must confess my car is a horrendous mess.” He knew his wife could not ignore health hazards. She would do this chore. She offered, “Take my car to work while I clean yours.” He wore a smirk as off he drove. I’ve got ‘er trained, he thought, and she has NOT complained! That night he found his car half-clean. He growled, “What have you done between the time I left and now? She said, “Look what I found.” His face turned red, “You found your earring! I’m g-glad,” he stammered. “Why are you so mad?” She countered, “NOT mine, as you know! To us, you’ve struck a grievous blow.” He begged her for a second chance. “I promise I won’t even glance at others.” She said, “This would be for you at LEAST chance number three. “My third chance?! NO! I cheated once,” he vowed. She screamed, “You’re such a dunce. Last month your car smelled like cologne. Pack up. Get out.
