Freudian slip if ever here was one...

Collecting prescription this evening while the wife was at the cashpoint then meeting her back at the car
Lady at the counter asked if I wanted my prescriptions in a bag and without even thinking I replied, "no thanks, the wife's outside" meaning in the car...
I realised what I'd said and we both fell about laughing.... The wife had come in and was stood behind me and I didn't realise until I turned round with the prescription in my hand!

Referring to his wife as a bag. I got it.
I get it a lot at work when I ask if somebody needs a bag, they always think they're the first to come up with the "witty" retort of "no thanks, the wife's in the car"

In one of my local bakers i'll pop in for a loaf of bread, and they ask "would you like a bag?" I say no, so they say "Are you sure!?" in a half patronising tone. Then when i hold up my loaf of bread and inform them "it's already in a bag." they look at me as if I'm being an arse. (to be fair, I probably am)

Oh how we laughed when the "Bag for Life" campaign was out ,,,,

When my lad was about three he was standing with me in the checkout queue.

As we approached the middle aged cashier he looked her straight in the eye and said loud and clear "old bag !"

There was a stunned silence in the queue and a look of abject misery in the eyes of the checkout lady. This was immediately followed by riotous laughter and a cashier who dissolved in an uncontrollable Tena moment as I explained that my little cherub simply wished to assist in carrying our purchases !

Yeh, but it still doesn't makes sense, does it? I mean, the lady at the counter asked if he wanted the "prescriptions in a bag. I don't get it.

I know what you mean. I have a familiar issue with knock knock jokes.

Knock knock.
Who's there?
Doctor.

I mean, you wouldn't reply just 'doctor' even if you were a doctor
