Good Husband

The homeowner was delighted with the way the painter had done all the work on his house.
'You did a great job,' he said and handed the man his money.
'Also, in order to thank-you, here's an extra $80 to take the missus out to dinner and a movie.'

Later that night, the doorbell rang and it was the painter. Thinking the painter had forgotten something the man asked, 'What's the matter, did you forget something?'

'Nope.' replied the painter. 'I'm just here to take your missus out to dinner and a movie like you asked.'
