A wife arriving home from a shopping trip was horrified to find her husband
in bed with a sweet young thing.  Just as she was about to storm out, her
husband spoke up:

 Wait, you should hear how this came about.  Driving down the street, I saw
 this young girl looking tired and bedraggled.  So I brought her home and
 made her a meal from the roast beef you had forgotten in the refrigerator.
 She had only some worn sandals on her feet so I gave her a pair of good
 shoes you had discarded because they had gone out of style.

 She was cold so I gave her the sweater I bought you for your birthday that
 you never wore because the color did not suit you.  Her slacks were worn
 out so I gave her a pair of yours that were perfectly good but too small
 for you now.  She was about to leave the house when she paused and asked,
 "Is there anything else your wife doesn't use anymore?"
