Never Leave Your Husband Alone in a Clothing Store

I did, and now he looks ready to battle the Red Baron

As I drove around the corner near our house, I saw a male figure walking ahead of me. I couldn’t see his face, but I did see he wore a hat, a cap that very much resembled Snoopy’s leather World War I flying cap, the one with the ear and neck flaps, and no doubt, a chin strap.

“He can’t be married,” I said to myself, “No wife with functioning eyesight would allow her husband out in that.”

The man heard my car, turned, and waved. I saw it right then. He was married — to me!

I slammed on my brakes and opened the window. He came to the car.

“When did you get that hat?” I asked, unable to contain my horror.

“When I bought the bomber jacket,” he said, proudly.

“I was with you when you bought the bomber jacket,” I said. “You promised you wouldn’t get the hat.”

“I promised no such thing. You left the store because you were in such a hurry to get to the sale at that women’s boutique. That’s when the sales associate at the leather place told me buying the hat would make a fashion statement.”
