A dangerous neighbour

A village. Night-time.

A husband and wife have just gone to bed when there is a knock at the door.

‘Darling, go and see who it is.’

‘Go yourself.’

The woman goes, wearing a transparent nightdress with a shawl thrown over it.

She opens the door, and there is the neighbour:

‘I’m sorry it’s so late, but I urgently needed an axe…’

She gives the neighbour a lamp and goes down to the basement. As soon as she bends down to find the axe, the neighbour approaches her from behind, does what he wants, and leaves…

The outraged woman returns to her husband and tells him everything.

Husband:

“Well, there you go, and you wanted me to go!
