A husband comes home from work and sees a note on the fridge door.

"This is not working, I am going to stay with my mother."

He opens the fridge door, light comes on. He writes on the note, "Working just fine, I'm off to the pub.”

Till next time,

Calvin

    Lol relationships just suck sometimes. It's crazy to me how you can see it all in one person and then they turn out to be everything they swore they wouldn't.
