The Comic Strip That Has A Finale Every Day by John "Scully" Scully for December 04, 2021

Convinced

A couple are having dinner at a nice restaurant. A lovely young woman walks up to the table, kisses the man on the cheek, and says, “See you later, sweetie” before walking away.

The wife is livid. “Who the hell was that, and what did she mean about seeing you later?”

“That’s just my mistress, Laura.”

“You have a mistress, and she has the nerve to walk up to us in public? This is unforgivable. I want a divorce.”

“Honey, she means nothing to me. Just a bit of harmless fun. I love you and I want us to live a long life together.”

“Not after the way you humiliated me tonight.”

“Look, I’ll make sure that she doesn’t do anything like that again.”

“You mean you’re going to see her again?”

“Of course.”

“Divorce.”

“You need to think this through. We have a prenup. If we divorce, you’ll be comfortable, but at a very different level. No more taking the jet to Paris for shopping. No more beach house, no more cruises on the yacht. Even dinners like this won’t be common.”

She is quiet for a while, then she says, “Isn’t that Ted from the club? Who’s he with? It isn’t Stella.”

“That’s Ted’s mistress. I think her name is Kristy or Krissy or something like that.”

“Hmm. Ours is prettier.” she says.

If you joke about the worst in people or their behavior, you reveal your own standards.
