An armed thief entered a house mid-afternoon and found two people there.


He tied up the woman and ordered the man at the point of his gun to hand over the family's jewellery and other valuables.


The frightened man started sobbing, and said,


"You can take anything you want, and even beat me up, but please, untie the rope and free her."


"You must really love your wife!"


"Not particularly, but she will be home shortly!!!!
