The husband and his young wife were not on good terms.
In fact the wife was convinced that he was carrying on with the pretty housemaid, so she laid a trap.
One evening she suddenly sent the maid home for the weekend and didn’t inform the husband.
That night when they went to bed, the husband gave the old story, “Excuse me my dear…my stomach,” and disappeared towards the bathroom.
The wife promptly dashed along the corridor, up the back stairs and into the maid’s bed.
She just had time to switch the lights off when in he came in silently…
He wasted no time or words but quickly took out his weapon, got on top of her and bang her like there was no tomorrow.
When he finished and while he was still panting, the wife said “You didn’t expect to find me in this bed did you!!” and switched on the light.
“No madam”, said the gardener.
