A fifteen-year-old boy came home with a Porsche and his parents began to yell and scream, “Where did you get that car?”
He calmly told them, “I bought it today.”
“With what money!?” demanded his parents. “We know what a Porsche costs.”
“Well,” said the boy, “this one cost me fifteen dollars.”
The parents began to yell even louder. “Who would sell a car like that for fifteen dollars!?” they asked.
“It was the lady up the street,” said the boy. “Don’t know her name — they just moved in. She saw me ride past on my bike and asked me if I wanted to buy a Porsche for fifteen dollars.”
“Oh my goodness!” moaned the mother, “she must be a child abuser. Who knows what she will do next? John, you go right up there and see what’s going on.”
So the boy’s father walked up the street to the house where the lady lived and found her out in the yard calmly planting flowers. He introduced himself as the father of the boy to whom she has sold a Porsche for fifteen dollars and demanded to know why she did it.
“Well,” she said, "I thought my husband was on a business trip, but I learned from a friend he has run off to Hawaii with his secretary and really doesn’t intend to come back. This morning I got a phone call from my husband he claimed he was stranded and asked me to sell his new Porsche and send him the money. So I did.”..................

I don't know if it is true but a London radio host was flirting with a female caller. This is perhaps 30 years ago. His wife at home listening heard what was going on. She then advertised on some almost immediate media the husband's classic and restored car. Saying that the car was in a lock up and that she had the book. Her price was absurdly low for the car. It was sold in a matter of an hour. IIRC the car was an MG TD.

When I got dressed this morning I left 2 pair of socks on the bed. Soon after my wife came into the kitchen where i was having breakfast wanting to know why I left the socks on the bed.

I replied "They are golf socks".

"What? --- What do you mean golf socks?" she demanded.

Golf socks, you know - each pair of socks has a hole in one!
