Drinking in the Doghouse

A glum looking man was sitting at the bar. The bartender asked, “Hey buddy, what’s got you down?”

“My wife kicked me out of the house,” replied the melancholy gent.

“Why’d she do that?” asked the barkeep.

“Well, the other night I came home, and she reminded me that it was our anniversary.”

“Oh no,” said the bartender. “You forgot it, didn’t you.”

“Yeah,” said the man, “but that’s not what got me in trouble.”

“Really, what was it then?” asked the barman.

“She said she wanted me to take her someplace pricey.”

“So where’d you take her?”

“The gas station.”
