The quarrel had reached a new height when the wife said to her spouse, "I wish I'd taken my mother's advice and never married you."
Hubby swung around, "Do you mean to tell me that your mother tried to stop you from marrying me?"
Wife nodded in the affirmative.
"Good heavens," cried the husband, his voice filled with remorse. "How I've wronged that woman."
"Yes, once i came face to face with a lion, and to make matters worse, I was alone and weapon less."
"Goodness! What did you do?"
"What could I do? First I tried looking straight into his eyes, but he kept crawling up on me. Then I thought of plunging my arm down his throat, grabbing him by the tail and turning him inside out, but I decided it would be too dangerous. Yet he continued creeping up on me. I had to think fast...."
"How did you get away?"
"I just left him and passed on to the next cage."
How did the octopus defeat the shark?
He was well armed!
