Phil, Aiton and Mike were discussing their marital woes at the pub.
"I think my wife is having an affair with a mechanic" said Phil. "Why?" asked the other two. "I looked under the bed the other day and found a pair of overalls, a spanner and socket wrench" replied Phil despondently.
"I think my wife's having an affair with a bricklayer" volunteered Aiton. "Why?" asked the other two. "I looked under the bed the other day and found a trowel and a mortar board" he choked. "Gee" they all sighed.
Mike thought for a minute then said "Well, my wife is having an affair with a bagpipe". "What?" exclaimed the other two. "Yeah, I looked under the bed the other day and found a piper".
