A married man was having an affair with his secretary.
One afternoon, unable to resist their desires, they decided to sneak off to her house.
After a few indulgent hours, they both dozed off, only to wake up around 8 p.m.
Panicking, the man quickly got dressed and tried to come up with a plan. Turning to the woman, he said:
“Take my shoes outside and rub them in the grass and dirt.”
Although puzzled, she did as he asked. Once his shoes were sufficiently scuffed, he slipped them on, kissed her goodbye, and headed home.
As soon as he walked through the door, his wife confronted him.
“Where have you been?” she demanded.
“Darling,” he said, trying to sound sincere, “I won’t lie to you. I’ve been having an affair with my secretary. I fell asleep at her house and didn’t wake up until 8.”
His wife looked him up and down, her gaze landing on his shoes.
“You liar!” she snapped. “You’ve been playing golf!”
