A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening the front door.

"Hurry!" she said, "Stand in the corner." She quickly rubbed baby oil all over him and then she dusted him with a thick coat of talcum powder.

"Don't move until I tell you to." she whispered. "Just pretend that you're a statue."

When her husband entered the room, he asked: "Honey, what's this?" "Oh, it's just a statue! Don't you think it looks good there in the corner?" she replied nonchalantly. "The Smiths recently bought one for their bedroom. I liked the idea so much, I got one for us, too." No more was said about the "statue."

Later that night they went to sleep, but around two in the morning the husband got out of bed, went to the kitchen, and returned with a sandwich and a glass of milk.

"Here." he said to the 'statue'. "I stood like a idiot at the Smith's for three days and nobody offered me so much as a glass of water."
