A guy was known among his friends to be very brief an
to the point - he really never said too much.
One day, a saleswoman promoting Avon knocked on his door and
asked to see his wife, so the guy told her that she wasn't home.
"Well," the woman said, "could I please wait for her?"
The man directed her to the drawing room and left her there
for more than three hours.
After feeling really worried, she called out for him an asked,
"May I ask where your wife is?"
"She went to the cemetery," he replied.
"And when is she coming back?"
"I don't really know," he said. "She's been there eleven
years now!"
