When it comes to jokes, everyone has their own preferences. Some jokes make us burst out laughing, while others just bring a gentle smile to our faces.

We often laugh the hardest when something unexpected happens. Sometimes we can see the punchline coming, but when we don’t, it can really catch us by surprise and make us laugh even more.

The joke below is a great example of that. It starts out funny, but it just gets better (and funnier) as you go along.

A wife was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband’s key in the door.

“Stay where you are,” she said.

“He’s so drunk he won’t even notice you’re in bed with me.”

The husband stumbled into the bedroom and climbed into bed. But a few minutes later, through his drunken haze, he saw something odd – there were six feet sticking out at the end of the bed. He turned to his wife:

“Hey, there are six feet in this bed. There should only be four. What’s going on?”

“You’re so drunk you miscounted,” said the wife. “Get out of bed and try again. You can see better from over there.”

The husband climbed out of bed and counted the feet once more: One, two, three, four. “You’re right,” he said.
