Funny story: A man and woman are having dinner in a restaurant
This charming short story delivers a witty look at the nuances of married life. The setting is a lively, crowded restaurant where a man and woman are dining together. All seems ordinary—until something quite strange begins to unfold.
While serving nearby patrons, a sharp-eyed waitress catches sight of an odd scene at the couple’s table. The man, seated opposite the woman, begins to slowly sink down in his chair, inch by inch, until he disappears entirely beneath the table. What’s most surprising, however, is the woman’s reaction—or lack thereof. She remains perfectly composed, as if nothing at all is amiss.
As the man vanishes completely from sight, the waitress, increasingly perplexed, decides to check in. She walks over and gently says, “Excuse me, ma’am, but I believe your husband just slipped under the table.”
Without missing a beat, the woman glances up with a calm smile and replies, “No, he didn’t. My husband just walked through the door.”
Her unexpected answer momentarily stuns the waitress. The woman’s deadpan delivery and apparent indifference to what looked like a bizarre scene hint at an inside joke or playful familiarity within the couple’s relationship.
This lighthearted tale illustrates how everyday moments can be filled with humor—and how, in marriage, the unexpected often becomes delightfully routine.
