A man phones home from the office and tells his wife, “Something has just come up. I have the chance to go fishing for a week. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime. We leave right away, so can you pack my clothes, my fishing equipment, and especially my blue silk pajamas? I’ll be home in an hour to pick up.”

He hurries home, grabs everything and rushes off. A week later he returns.

His wife asks, “Did you have a good trip?”

“Oh, yes great! But you forgot to pack my blue silk pajamas.”

“Oh, no I didn’t. I put them in your tackle box.”
