An Honest Mistake

A Sailor sent an e-mail to his wife, informing her that his ship would be returning from deployment a day early.


Arriving home, he found his wife with another man. Upset, he stormed off and got a room at the Navy Lodge to decide what to do next.


His thoughts were interrupted by a call from his mother-in-law.


“Bill” she said, “I checked with my daughter and, as I expected, there is a perfectly good explanation for this whole episode.”


“This I’ve got to hear,” the Sailor said.


“It was an honest mistake,” the mother-in -law said. ” She never got your e-mail!”
