““All the way home, he cursed Presley and his captain for sending him out on this wild goose chase in the middle of the night. His wife was in the bathroom getting ready for work by the time he strode into the house. He was taking off his clothes as he went through the house. By the time he got to the bathroom, intending to clean up, he found her in the act of getting out of the shower. Mistaking his nudity for something else, his wife took one look at her naked husband as he entered the bathroom and then wrinkled her nose. “Oh, for God’s sake, Joe. Not now. I’m going to be late for work.” As she swept past him with her nose in the air, she paused long enough to offer a comment. “You need to shower. You stink!” “Do you think?” he asked sarcastically, and turned loose of the last bit of guilt for leaving a trail of tainted clothes all through the house. By the time she figured out that she’d misread the situation, he was in a fresh set of clothes and on his way out the door.””
