A Perfect Plan… Explained to the Wrong Person
A woman visits her husband in prison.
Before leaving, she pulls a correction officer aside and says:
“I really don’t think you should be making my husband work so hard.
He looks absolutely exhausted.”
The officer raises an eyebrow.
“Work?” he says. “Madam, your husband hasn’t done a single day of labour.
He eats, sleeps, and sits in his cell all day.”
The woman frowns.
“That’s strange…”
A pause.
“Because every time I visit, he tells me he’s been digging a tunnel for months.”
The officer blinks.
“…Right.”
Another pause.
“Well in that case—”
He glances down the corridor.
“—we should probably stop checking the yard…
and start checking your garden.”
