A couple was invited to a swanky costume party. The wife got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party without her. He protested, but she said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed, but it was no reason for him to miss the party. So he took his costume and away he went.

The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, awakened without pain, and as it was still early, decided to go the party. Since her husband did not know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by observing her husband when she was not with him. She joined the party and soon spotted him cavorting around on the dance floor and flirting with every woman he could.

Before long, her husband began to check out the new babe who had just arrived. He started his hustle, and she let him go as far as he wished, since he was her husband. Finally, he whispered a little proposition in her ear, and off they went to his car for a quickie in the back seat.

Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away, went home, and put away her costume, wondering what he would have to say for himself. She was sitting up reading when he came in, and asked what kind of time he had.

- "Oh, the usual. It's never the same when you're not there."

- "Did you dance much?"

- "I'll tell you, I never danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill and some other guys, and we went to the den and played poker most of the night. But you're not going to believe what happened to the guy I lent my costume to!"
