Robin’s 2 Cents:
A woman was tired of her husband coming home drunk every night.
So one Friday evening, she decided to teach him a lesson.
She dressed up as the Devil – with red horns, a long tail and even a pitchfork – and then hid behind a tree to wait for him.
When her husband walked by, she jumped out and shouted.
“Who are you?” her husband asked.
“I’m the Devil,” she replied.
“Well, better come along with me,” her husband said. “I already married your sister.”
