An architect, an artist and an engineer were
discussing whether it was better to spend one's time with a wife or
mistress.
The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a
solid foundation for an enduring relationship.
The artist said he
enjoyed spending time with his mistress, because of the passion and the
mystery he found there.
The engineer said, "I like
both."
"Both?" the others asked.
"Yeah,"
said the engineer. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume
you're spending time with the other, and you can go the lab and get some
work done.
