Reasons not to flirt (not original)

The wife got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to
the party alone. He, being a devoted husband,
protested, but she argued and said she was going to
take some aspirin and go to bed and there was no
need for his good time to be spoiled by her not going.
So he took his costume and away he went.

The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, woke
without pain and as it was still early, decided to go to the
party. As her husband didn't know what her costume was, she
thought she would have some fun by watching her
husband to see how he acted when she was not with
him.

So she joined the party and soon spotted her husband
in his costume, cavorting around on the dance floor,
dancing with every nice "chick" he could and copping
a little feel here and a little kiss there.
His wife went up to him and being a rather seductive
babe herself, he left his new partner high and dry
and devoted his time to her. She let him go as far as he wished,
naturally, since he was her husband.

After more drinks he finally he whispered a little
proposition in her ear and she agreed, so off
they went to one of the cars and had passionate intercourse in
the back seat. Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away
and went home and put the costume away and got into
bed, wondering what kind of explanation he would
make up for his outrageous behavior.

She was sitting up reading when he came in, so she
asked what kind of time he had.
"Oh, the same old thing. You know I never have a
good time when you're not there." Then she asked,"Did you
dance much?" He replied, I'll tell you, I never even
danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill Brown
and some other guys,so we went into the spare room
and played poker all evening."

You must have looked really silly
wearing that costume playing poker all night!" she said with
unashamed sarcasm. To which the husband replied, "Actually, I
gave my costume to your brother, apparently he had the time of
his life.
