The golfer's wife
A woman, frustrated because her husband was late coming home from golf yet again, decided to leave a note that read, "I've had enough. I'm leaving you. Don't try to find me."
She then hid under the bed to watch his reaction.
Soon after, her husband came home. She could hear him in the kitchen before he made his way into the bedroom.
She watched as he walked over to the dresser, picked up the note, and read it.
After a moment, he scribbled something on the note, then picked up the phone and called someone.
"She's finally gone. Yeah, it's about time. I'm on my way. Wear that sexy French nightie. I love you. Can't wait to see you. We'll do all the naughty things you like." He hung up, grabbed his keys, and left.
As she heard the car drive away, she crawled out from under the bed, furious and heartbroken. With trembling hands, she picked up the note to see what he had written.
"I can see your feet. We’re out of beer. Be right back."
This man's ability and willingness to offer written communication in response to an obvious marital crisis on the horizon shows heartwarming dedication. I hope she realizes what a gem she has there.
@jack-dodds Jack I have to congratulate you on recognizing this guys ability to grasp the situation and come up with a solution.
@bob-jackman Well Bob....I would say his grasp of the situation is as good as the one he has on his golf clubs...or a can of beer. He's a natural IMO.
I have never loved beer that much as to risk being shot at, from under, on, or around furniture! GREAT joke - thanks David!
@perrone1 That speaks to the man's courage and determination to make it work Tony.....such a role model for the rest of us.
This story bears a remarkable similarity to an incident in my own personal life some years ago, the only differences being that (a) I was mountain biking, not golfing, and (b) what I wrote on the note was "For the attention of the attending police officers - My wife is under the bed. It may be a case of suicide, or maybe just a fainting fit, but I didn't have time to check. Had an urgent appointment elsewhere."

Brilliant! Iron clad.

@graeme-ogg Nice that you took the time to write that Graeme....some others wouldn't have.
Oh, I know, I know. Sometimes I can be too thoughtful for my own good.
