The jealous housewife was outraged when her husband came home late one evening smeared with lipstick and smelling of cheap perfume. "You've got a lot of nerve." she sobbed. "Coming home like this and telling me you were working late at the office." "That's ridiculous." He replied. "If I had a lot of nerve, I'd tell you the truth!" 남편이 어느날 밤늦게 온통 립스틱을 묻히고 싸구려 향수냄새를 풍기면서 집에 돌아오자 질투심 많은 부인은 분통을 터뜨렸다. "이런 꼴을 하고 들아와서는 사무실에서 늦게까지 야근을 했다고 말하다니 당신 배짱 정말 좋군요." "바보 같은 소리. 진짜로 배짱이 좋다면 사실대로 말했겠지!" 남편이 대답했다.
