Cat-tastrophe

Ever been misunderstood?

A couple was preparing to go out for their anniversary. They were ready to go and had just taken the cat outside the house. As the taxi cab drove up to the front of their house, they opened the front door to leave. The sneaky cat ran back into the house. The husband told his wife to go out to the cab while he retrieved the cat. The wife got into the cab and apologized for her husband. She did not want the cab driver to know that no one was home, so she told him that her husband went back in to say good bye to his elderly mother. When the husband got into the cab, he apologized for the delay and explained, "That stupid old nuisance was hiding under the bed. I had to slap her with a coat hanger a couple of times to get her out from under there!"
