As the wife turned around she was surprised to discover that her husband had gone missing. She was annoyed because they had a lot to do, so she called him on the mobile and asked him where he was. In a quiet voice he said, “Do you remember the jewellers we went to about five years ago where you fell in love with that diamond necklace that we couldn’t afford back then, and I told you that I would get it for you one day?” The wife choked up and with a lump in her throat and a tear in her eye, said, “Yes, my darling, I do”. He replied, “Well, I’m in the pub next door!”
