Fed up with her old car, the wife complained to her husband every day until her birthday finally gave her a chance to be very specific about what she wanted.
“I want something that goes from 0 to 100 in 4 seconds,” she told him firmly, “and it has to be blue.”
The husband just nodded, as if he fully understood the assignment.
On the morning of her birthday, she could barely contain her excitement. She rushed outside, expecting the surprise of her dreams.
There, sitting neatly in front of the house, was a perfectly wrapped blue gift box.
Her heart raced. “He actually did it,” she thought, already imagining a powerful new car.
She tore the box open eagerly.
Inside… was a blue bathroom scale.
For a moment, there was silence. The kind that comes right before everything goes wrong.
And that was the last thing anyone laughed about.
