A couple are at a marriage counselor, and the therapist asks them to explain the problem they’re having
Husband says “I think my marriage is in trouble. It goes back to when we first got married, and you should know I have a bit of an oddball sense of humor. Well, on our wedding night I surprised her by getting dressed up in a giant banana costume. She laughed and laughed, it was a good time.”
Wife says “yes… I remember that”
Husband says “So then a year goes by and our child is being born and I show up to the hospital to meet my daughter for the first time and I’m wearing a giant banana costume. After hours of painful labor, it was so unexpected she couldn’t help but laugh. I got a lot of odd looks from the other people in the hospital though.”
Wife says “yes, and I told you afterwards that I found it a bit embarrassing too.”
Husband says “Yeah, I figure she’s just not fully getting it. But that’s okay. So year or so later she actually started a new job because we needed the extra money to pay for daycare and other kid expenses. I decide to surprise her at her new job at lunchtime with a big fruit basket dressed up in a giant banana costume.”
Wife says “I was livid, it was completely inappropriate. I looked unserious in front of my coworkers and they ended up letting me go a month later.”
Husband says “I figure she’s overreacting a bit. They did let her go from that job a month later but I think that’s unrelated.“
Wife says “But it didn’t stop there. It keeps happening!”
Husband says “maybe a few times….”
Wife: “what did you wear to our kids first day of school?”
H: “Uh… giant banana costume?”
W: “And what about to our 10th anniversary dinner?”
H: “oh yeah, that was the giant banana costume.”
W: “daughter’s baptism?”
H: “… banana”
W: “my father’s funeral?”
H: “banana…”
W: “family reunion?”
H: “banana”
W: “family pictures?”
H: “banana”
W: “date nights?”
H: “banana”
W: “kids birthday?”
H: “banana”
W: “my birthday?”
H: “banana”
W: “and now, after YEARS of me begging and pleading with you to cut out the banana costume, I asked you to come to marriage counseling with me to help save our marriage. And just WHAT are you wearing? Right now. This moment. With our entire marriage at stake. What did you choose to wear?”
H: “…. it’s a giant Orange costume?”
W: “….. WHY?!?!”
H: “……. ORANGE you glad I didn’t wear the banana?”
