Garbage?

A man visited a woman when her husband was at work. Unexpectedly the husband
came home earlier than usual. As the husband rang the bell, the lover panicked,
but the woman said calmly, "Don't be nervous. Just dress and wait a minute."
Then she picked up a garbage can from the kitchen, walked to the entrance,
opened the door and said, "Darling, before taking off your coat, would you
please carry out this garbage?" Before the husband returned, the lover had
dressed and left the apartment unnoticed. As he walked home, he thought, "What a
smart woman. My chicken of a wife would never come up with such an idea."
He came to the door of his apartment, rang the bell, his wife appeared in the
doorway and said, "Darling, before taking off your coat, would you please carry
out this garbage?"
