WEEKLY LAUGH
A husband and wife were shopping in their local supermarket. The husband picked up a case of beer and put it in their cart. "What do you think you're doing?" asked the wife. "They're on sale, only $20 for 24 cans" he replies. "Put them back, we can't afford them," the wife demanded.

They carried on shopping. A few aisles farther on, the wife picked up a $40 jar of face cream and put it in the cart. "What do you think you're doing?" asked the husband. "It's my face cream. It makes me look beautiful," replied the wife. Her husband retorted: "So does 24 cans of beer, and it's half the price."

That's him, there in Aisle 5.
