THE TEXT


Hi Bob, This is Tom next door. I’m sorry buddy, but I have a confession to make. I've been riddled with guilt these past few months and have been trying to pluck up the courage to tell you to your face, but I am at least now telling you in text as I can’t live with myself a moment longer without you knowing. The truth is, I have been sharing your wife, day and night when you're not around. In fact, probably more than you, particularly in the mornings after you've left for work. I haven’t been getting it at home recently, but that's no excuse I know. The temptation was just too much.... I can no longer live with the guilt and I hope you will accept my sincerest apologies and forgive me. I promise that it won't happen again. Regards, Tom

THE CONSEQUENCES


Bob, feeling anguished and betrayed, immediately went into his bedroom, and without a word, slapped his wife twice, stunning her instantly. He returned to the lounge where he poured himself a stiff drink and sat down on the sofa. He took out his phone to respond to the neighbour's text and saw he had another message.


THE REPLY


Hi Bob, This is Tom next door again. Sorry about the slight "typo" on my last text, I expect you worked it out anyway, but as I’m sure you noticed, my predictive text changed ‘WiFi’ to ‘Wife’. Technology hey? Hope you saw the funny side of that. Regards, Tom.
