The wife said to her husband who came back holding noodles, "You only went to buy a pound of noodles. Why did it take you so long? Was the line too long?"

The husband replied, "The line wasn't that long, but when it was my turn, I let a few people behind me go first."

The wife became angry and said, "We're waiting at home to cook dinner, and you're out there carrying on with style!"

The husband quickly explained, "No, I was watching the salesperson. She was using such dirty hands to grab the noodles, and it was impossible to eat. I asked her to sell to a few more customers to automatically disinfect and make her hands cleaner."
