He Spotted Six Feet Sticking Out of His Bed. His Wife’s Brilliant Trick Made Him Question Reality.
A married woman was wrapped up in bed with her secret lover when she suddenly heard the unmistakable sound of her husband’s keys jangling in the front door.
The lover panicked and tried to leap out of the covers, but the wife grabbed his arm and whispered confidently, “Relax, stay exactly where you are! He went out drinking with the boys tonight. He is so utterly wasted he won’t even realize you’re in bed with us.”
Sure enough, the husband lurched heavily into the bedroom, kicked off his shoes, and tumbled into the bed under the duvet.
A few minutes later, however, the husband blinked through a heavy, drunken haze. He looked down at the end of the mattress and squinted. There, sticking out from the bottom of the blanket, were six distinct feet.
He nudged his wife furiously. “Hey… wait a minute. There are six feet sticking out of this bed! There should only be four! What the hell is going on here?”
The wife didn’t even blink. She rolled her eyes and scoffed, “Oh, please. You are completely blind drunk, honey. You’re just miscounting because your vision is blurry!”
“I am not!” the husband stammered.
“Fine,” the wife snapped. “Get completely out of bed, stand at the very foot of the mattress, and try counting them again. You’ll be able to see much better from over there.”
The husband groaned, dragged himself out of the covers, and walked over to the foot of the bed. He stood up straight, pointed his finger, and began to count carefully:
“One… two… three… four… Oh, wow. Well, I’ll be damned, honey! You’re totally right. Sorry about that!”
