1. The Misunderstanding That Took a Wrong Turn
A couple, dressed to the nines for a rare night out, was just about to leave when their mischievous cat bolted back into the house.

The husband dashed inside to shoo it out while the wife waited in the taxi. Trying to make small talk, she told the driver, “He’s just saying goodbye to my mother.”
Moments later, the husband returned, looking frazzled. “That stupid thing was hiding under the bed. I had to poke her with a hanger to get her out!”

“Easy,” his dad said. “Wash your feet and wear socks to bed.”
Meanwhile, the bride confided in her mom, “My morning breath is terrible. What if it drives him away?”
“Simple,” her mom advised. “Brush your teeth before he wakes up.”

For months, their strategies worked flawlessly—until one morning, disaster struck.
The groom woke in a panic, realizing he had lost a sock in bed. Frantically searching, he woke his wife.
“What are you doing?” she groggily asked.
“Oh no!” he gasped. “You’ve swallowed my sock!”

The pilot overheard and offered a deal: “If you stay silent during the ride, it’s free. But if you say a word, it’ll cost ten bucks.”
The couple agreed. The pilot performed stunts and sharp turns, but they didn’t utter a peep.

“Well,” John replied, “I almost said something when Mary fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars!”

“Go for it.”
