Sleeping With Who?​

Paddy, who had a reputation for playing around with other people’s wives , goes to his friend Mick and says,
“I’m sleeping with Jack’s wife . Can you keep him busy in church for an hour after mass?”
Mick isn’t thrilled , but being a loyal friend , he agrees.
After mass, Mick starts chatting with Jack, asking the most random, pointless questions to stall him .
Eventually, Jack gets annoyed and says, “Alright, Mick, what’s going on?”
Feeling guilty , Mick blurts out,
“Paddy’s with your wife right now , so he asked me to keep you occupied.”
Jack smiles , puts a hand on Mick’s shoulder, and says,
“You’d better hurry home, mate… My wife died a year ago.”
