The Masked Man

A couple was invited to a fancy masquerade party.
The wife had a terrible headache,
so she told her husband to go to the party alone and have fun.
Being a devoted husband, he protested,
but she argued and said he should go out and enjoy a good time,
and his fun shouldn't be spoiled because
she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed.

So the husband took his costume and went off to the party.
After taking a nap for an hour or two,
the wife woke up to find her headache gone, and as it was still early,
she decided to go to the party and meet her husband there.
Her husband did not know what her costume was,
so she thought she'd have some fun by watching him
to see how he acted when she wasn't there.

She arrived at the party and soon spotted her husband
cavorting around on the dance floor,
dancing with all the girls, and being rather flirtatious.
She sidled up to him, her face hidden beneath her mask,
and he started dancing and flirting with her, never saying a word.
Since he was her husband, she flirted back and let his advances continue.
Finally, he whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed,
so off they went to her car for a little fun.

They went back in to the party, but before the unmasking at midnight,
she slipped away and went home and got back into bed,
planning to give her hubby a shock.

She was sitting up reading when he came in,
and looked surprised when he didn't act like anything was funny at all.
She asked if he had a good time, and he said, "Oh, the same old thing.
You know I never have a good time when you're not there."

"Well, did you dance much?" she asked.
He said, "Nah, I didn't dance at all.
When I got there, I met some of the guys,
and we went into the den and played poker all night.
But I'll tell you...the guy I loaned my costume to sure had a real good time!"
