  • Brian and his two friends are hanging out at a bar. They're talking about life, sports and other guy things when the conversation finally gets around to to their marriages.

    His first friend says: "I think my wife is having an affair with the electrician. The other day I came home and found wire cutters under our bed and they weren't mine."

    His second friend says: "You know what? I think my wife is having an affair with the plummer the other day I found a wrench1 under the bed and it wasn't mine."

    Brian, surprised by the candor2 of his friends, decides to come forth3 with his marital4 concerns: "I think my wife is having an affair with a horse."

    Both his friends look at him, or course, with utter disbelief.

    "No I'm serious. The other day I came home and found a jockey under our bed."
