The Husband

A man and woman were having dinner in a fine restaurant. Their waitress, taking another order at a table a few steps away, suddenly noticed that the man was slowly sliding down his chair and under the table, but the woman appeared unconcerned.

The waitress watched as the man slid all the way down his chair and out of sight under the table. Still, the woman appeared calm and unruffled, apparently unaware that her dining companion had disappeared. The waitress went over to the table.

"Pardon me, ma'am, but I think your husband just slid under the table" she said.

The woman calmly looked up at her,

"No he didn't", she replied. "He just walked in the door."
