A married couple has been out shopping for hours when the wife realizes that her husband has disappeared. So she calls his cell phone.
“Where are you?!” she yells.
“Darling,” he says, “do you remember that jewelry shop, the one where you saw that diamond necklace you loved? But I didn’t have enough money at the time, so I said, ‘Baby, it’ll be yours one day’?”
“Yes!” she shouts excitedly.
“Well, I’m in the bar next door.”
