A man calls his wife and says, “Honey, I’ve been invited to go fishing out of town with my boss for a week.
This could be a great opportunity for a promotion. Can you please pack enough clothes for the week, get my rod and tackle box ready, and don’t forget to pack my new blue silk pajamas?”
The wife sensed something was off but, being a good wife, she followed his instructions and packed everything he asked for.
After a week, the husband returned home, looking a bit tired but pleased with himself. The wife immediately bombarded him with questions about the trip: how it was, if he caught any fish, and so on.
“Yes, I caught plenty—lots of salmon, bluegill, and even a few swordfish,” he replied. Then, with a puzzled look, he added, “But why didn’t you pack my blue silk pajamas?”
The wife smirked and said, “Oh, I did! They were in your fishing box.”
A doctor and a lawyer are chatting at a party, just trying to relax.
But every five minutes, someone interrupts the doctor:
“Can you look at this rash?”
“My back’s been k.i.l.ling me…”
“Does this mole look weird?”
After an hour of free check-ups, the doctor sighs and asks the lawyer:
“How do you deal with people asking for free legal advice outside of work?”
The lawyer smirks:
“Simple. I give them advice… then I mail them a bill.”
The doctor blinks.
“You’re joking.”
“Not even a little.”
Inspired (and mildly vengeful), the doctor decides to try it.
The next day, he writes up bills for everyone who bugged him at the party.
As he heads to the mailbox to send them off…
He finds something already waiting for him.
A bill.
From the lawyer.
