"Misunderstanding" joke
The homeowner was delighted with the way Santa had done all the paintwork on his house.
"You did a great job," he said as he handed Santa his fees. "Also, in order to thank-you, here`s an extra 500 bucks to take the wife out to dinner and a movie."
Santa declined, saying, "No, I can`t accept that."
"I insist," said the man. "It would make me very happy if you do it."
"Well," said Santa reluctantly, but with appreciation, "If you really don`t mind it, I`ll do it."
Later that night, the doorbell rang and it was Santa, standing there in clean clothes, holding a bouquet of flowers.
Thinking that Santa had forgotten something he asked, "What`s the matter, did you leave something behind?"
"Nope," replied Santa. "I`m just here to take the wife out to dinner and a movie like you asked."
