One day, a wife came home early and found her husband in their bed with a very attractive young woman.
Naturally, she was very upset.
"You are a disrespectful pig!" she cried.
"How dare you do this to me! I’m a faithful wife, the mother of your children! I’m leaving you. I want a divorce right away!"
The husband replied, "Hang on just a minute, so I can at least tell you what happened."
"Go ahead," she sobbed, "But they’ll be the last words you’ll say to me!"
So the husband began,
"Well, I was getting into the car to drive home, and this young lady here asked me for a lift."
"She looked so down and out and defenseless that I took pity on her and let her into the car."
"I noticed that she was very thin, not well dressed and very dirty."
"She told me that she hadn’t eaten for three days."
"So, in my compassion, I brought her home and warmed up the enchiladas I made for you last night."
"The ones you wouldn’t eat because you’re afraid you’ll put on weight."
"The poor thing devoured them in moments!"
"Since she needed a good clean-up, I suggested a shower, and while she was doing that, I noticed her clothes were dirty and full of holes, so I threw them away."
"Then, as she needed clothes, I gave her the designer jeans that you have had for a few years, but don’t wear because you say they are too tight."
"I also gave her the underwear that was your anniversary present, which you don’t wear because I don’t have good taste."
"I found the sexy blouse my sister gave you for Christmas that you don’t wear just to annoy her."
"I also donated those boots you bought at the expensive boutique and don’t wear because someone at work has a pair the same."
The husband took a quick breath and continued,
"She was so grateful for my understanding and help, that as I walked her to the door, she turned to me with tears in her eyes and said,"...
"Do you have anything else that your wife doesn’t use?"

Dean, the town postman, is retiring after 50 years on the job.
So he jumps in his USPS van and collects the last parcels from the post office, and sets out on his last round.
He drops off a few parcels at the local library.
The librarian smiles and presents him with a leather bound volume of The Complete Works of Charles Dickens:
"Here you are, Dean. We know how much you like reading, since you're retiring you've got plenty of time for it now!"
Dean thanks him and continues on his route.
Next, Dean knocks on the door of the town liquor store.
The landlady fetches him a good bottle of 12-year-old single malt whisky.
"We've been keeping this for a special occasion. Pour yourself a large one on us and enjoy your retirement!"
Dean is touched by her gesture and moves onto the last address.
Dean knocks on the door of Mrs Smith, the young newlywed that had just moved into the neighborhood.
She answers the door in lingerie that leaves little to the imagination.
"I've been expecting you, Dean. You'd better come in."
She leads him upstairs, pushes him onto the bed, and jumps on top.
Dean's head is still spinning as he gets dressed.
Then Mrs Smith slips a $1 bill into his shirt pocket.
Before he has a chance to say anything, Mrs Smith says, "We're not done yet," and leads him down to the kitchen.
Mrs Smith then cooks a fantastic lunch of steak, eggs, toast - the full works.
As he finishes eating and takes a swig of his coke, Dean finally has a chance to ask.
"I must say, Mrs Smith, everyone in town has been very kind today, but you've been the kindest of all."
"Too kind, in fact. What on Earth could have moved you to such a gesture?"
Mrs Smith admits,
"Well, I was really racking my brains to think of something nice for you, so I asked my husband."
He said, "Huh, we're new here. Screw him, give him a buck,"...
"But, lunch was my idea!"
