Adultary
A man tells his mistress that anything she wants, he could do it except shaving his beard. For he already told his wife that his beard is an indication of his loyalty to her. One day his girlfriend becomes suspicious of him being a married man. She tells him that she would not love him unless he shaves his beard. The man begs and begs without any success and finally yields to his girlfriend and has his beard shaved. That very night, he goes home feeling guilty of cheating his loyal wife and scared of having to confess his sin. He sneaks to the bed, making no noices and lying beside his wife. The wife reaches out for his face and whispers: "Darling, not today, the beardy-bustard will come home in any moment."
