o with
Henry called his wife from a crowded bar, and with the sweetest tone told her, " Honey, I have to work overtime tonight... don't stay up late and turn off the light. " Jane responded with worry in her voice and caressing her hair, "Eat your dessert and drink all of the coffee and try to stay awake; when coming home, don't speed...slow down by the frozen lake! " " One more thing, don't leave your cell phone in the locker! " " Okay, sweetheart...I'll be fine and I'll drive safely. " Then he hung up and continued the conversation with Lily... the pretty bartender who stared at him and burst into laughter saying, " Your wife believes you? Won't she check your pay stub after? " Henry replied, " No, she won't!" Then laughing remarked," She's too trustworthy... not suspecting I am cheating on her, she's not the jealous type as you are Lily. "
