My mate’s wife rang me today asking if I’d seen him

My mate’s wife rang me today asking if I’d seen him.

“Not since yesterday.” I answered.

“I knew he was lying!” she screamed, “He told me that he was at your house all night.”

“Erm… he… has,” I replied.

“Don’t stick up for him! You just said that you hadn’t seen him since yesterday.”

“Yes, well…” I paused, “…We’ve been playing hide and seek.”
