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 my new blue silk pajamas?” The wife sensed something was off, but being a dutiful spouse, she packed everything he asked for.
After a week, the husband returned home, looking a bit tired but pleased with himself. The wife immediately asked about the trip, how the fishing went, and if he caught any fish. “Yes, I caught plenty—lots of salmon, bluegill, and even a few swordfish,” he said. Then, puzzled, he added, “But why didn’t you pack my blue silk pajamas?” The wife smirked and replied, “Oh, I did! They were in your fishing box.”
At a party, a doctor and a lawyer were chatting and trying to relax. However, people kept approaching the doctor: “Can you look at this rash?” “My back’s been bothering me…” “Does this mole look unusual?” After an hour of free check-ups, the doctor asked the lawyer, “How do you handle people asking for free legal advice outside of work?”
The lawyer replied with a grin, “Simple. I give them advice… then I mail them a bill.” The doctor was surprised. “You’re joking.” “Not even a little,” the lawyer said. Feeling inspired (and a little mischievous), the doctor decided to try it. The next day, he wrote bills for everyone who had bothered him at the party. When he headed to the mailbox to send them, he found something waiting for him… a bill.
