A couple were Christmas shopping. The shopping centre was packed and as the wife walked around she was surprised to discover that her husband was nowhere to be seen.
She was quite upset because they had rather a lot to do and became so worried that she called him on her mobile phone to ask where he was.
In a quiet voice he said "Do you remember the jewellers we went into about five years ago, where you fell in love with that diamond necklace that we couldn't afford, and I told you that I would get it for you one day?"
The wife choked up and started to cry and said "Yes, I do remember that shop."
He replied "Well, I'm in the pub next door."
