Three Women at the Beauty Parlor
Three women were sitting in a beauty parlor, their hair in curlers and nails mid-polish, chatting about their husbands. The conversation naturally turned to where their men were when they weren’t at home.
The first woman sighed, rolling her eyes. “Last night,” she began dramatically, “my husband told me he was going to his office to finish some work. But when I called, the receptionist said he wasn’t there! Not even in the building!” She shook her head in frustration.
The second woman frowned in sympathy, her painted nails tapping the armrest. “Oh, I know exactly how that feels,” she said. “My husband said he was going to his brother’s house to help him with some yard work. But when I called, his brother said he hadn’t even shown up. Not once!”
The first woman gasped. “It’s like they think we don’t know what’s going on!”
The second woman nodded vigorously. “Exactly! And yet, somehow, they act like we’re the ones who are crazy for asking questions.”
The third woman, sitting quietly with a slight smile, finally spoke. “You know,” she said confidently, “I always know exactly where my husband is.”
The first two women stared at her, eyes wide. “That’s impossible!” they exclaimed in unison. “He must have you completely fooled! How do you manage that?”
The third woman chuckled softly, a glint of mischief in her eyes. “Oh, not at all,” she replied, as if stating a simple fact. “I’m a widow.”
The other two women blinked, stunned for a moment… and then all three burst into laughter. Even the hair curlers seemed to shake with the sound of their amusement.
LOL!! Sometimes, life has the best punchlines waiting for you—even at a beauty parlor!
Four Married Guys Fishing and Talking About Their Wives
One sunny Saturday, four married men decided to go fishing together. The lake was calm, the sky was clear, and the cooler in the back of the truck promised a few beers. But as soon as they settled on the dock, the conversation turned inevitably to wives and all the sacrifices they had to make just to get there.
The first man wiped sweat from his brow and said, “You don’t know what I had to do to come fishing with you today. On Saturday morning, I promised my wife I’d paint the entire house—every wall, every trim, every ceiling.” He shook his head, grimacing at the memory.
The other men nodded solemnly, their faces showing respect for his dedication.
The second man leaned back in his chair, smirking. “That’s nothing!” he said. “I promised my wife I’d build her a brand-new deck for the pool. It’s been on her wish list for years. I could have stayed home, but I decided to join you guys for a few hours instead.”
The third man raised an eyebrow. “You both had it easy,” he said with a grin. “I promised my wife I’d redo the entire kitchen. Cabinets, counters, appliances—the works. And yet here I am, enjoying the peace of the lake instead of measuring countertops!”
The three men laughed, clinking their fishing rods together like swords in solidarity. Then they looked at the fourth man, who had been unusually quiet all morning.
Finally, curiosity got the better of them. “Hey,” one of the guys said, “you haven’t told us what you gave up to be here. What’s your story?”
The fourth man leaned back, arms behind his head, and grinned. “Well, here’s the thing…” he began. “I just set my alarm for 5:30 a.m. When it rang, I turned it off, gave my wife a light push, and asked her, ‘Fishing, or something else?’”
The other three leaned forward, intrigued.
“Guess what she said?” the fourth man continued, chuckling. “She said… ‘Put on a sweater.’ And that was it. No guilt trips, no extra chores. Just go and have fun.”
The other men laughed so hard, they almost dropped their fishing rods into the lake. “You’ve got to be kidding me!” the first exclaimed. “That’s genius!”
The fourth man shrugged. “Sometimes, guys,” he said, looking out over the water, “it’s all about asking the right question—and knowing when to stay calm.”
And with that, the four men cast their lines into the lake, fishing poles at the ready. Even though the wives hadn’t given up their requests entirely, the quiet cleverness of one man had turned an ordinary fishing trip into a little adventure, filled with laughter, camaraderie, and the simple joy of knowing life doesn’t always have to be complicated.
