A man phones home to his wife and leaves a message on the answerphone: “Darling, I have been invited to fly to Scotland with my boss and several of his friends for a fishing trip. We’ll be gone for the long weekend. This is a really good opportunity for me to help get that promotion I’ve been wanting, so could you please pack enough clothes for a 3-day weekend and also would you get out my rod and tackle box from the garage? We’re leaving at 4:30 pm from the office and I’ll call back in at the house to pick my things up, before you get home. Oh, and by the way please pack my new silk pyjamas.”

The wife thinks this sounded a bit odd, but being a good wife she does exactly what her husband asked.

Following the long weekend he came looking a little tired, but pleased with himself. The wife welcomes him home and asks "Did you catch many fish?"

He says, “Yes, we caught lots of trout and a couple of big salmon. But why didn’t you pack my silk pyjamas like I asked you to do?”

The wife replies, “I did. They’re in your tackle box.”
