Witty moments

I have a friend whose husband is witty to the core.
This friend who I know for the past 37 years and her husband, friends with my husband for more than 54 years cracks jokes with a straight face. Wonder how he can hold back laughter with the jokes he cracks.

The Jokes:
One day it so happened that a soft toy, a cute monkey with a long tail which my husband got from Dubai stopped functioning. When it was keyed up, it used to roll up its tail and make small cute sounds.
I was very upset and waited for a chance to have one more like that. Since my friend's husband was a marine engineer and went to a lot of countries, I requested him to get me a similar toy.
With a straight face he said, "Give me 500 rupees and I will behave like that monkey". His saying made everyone burst out laughing.
Till today, no one has found that toy in any shop.

Once I read in the paper about a gadget that attracted dust and made the house dust free.
When I told my friend about it, her husband immediately said that if anyone applied oil and sat in a corner, he can be a dust buster.

My friend wanted to buy a diamond necklace. Her husband pointed out that he was always sailing and  their daughter was away in the US. Some robbers may enter the house when she was alone and make off with the diamond necklace, so it was best she did not buy any diamond. But he did buy her a diamond necklace after all the statements.
