Can we assume that Bob indeed wasn't dreaming? Whatever happened, did it happen to Betty? Bob? Someone else? Was it good? Bad? Shocking? Common? Rare? Recurring event (anniversary, birthday, regular checkup, grocery shopping, taking a bath) Did they die? Disappear? Get injured? Is this a true story? Are there any more people involved? 1-5? 6-10? 11+? Are any of these relevant: Type of store? Geographic location? Occupation? Money? Religion? Age? Time of day? Century? Year? Motive? Alibi? Does this puzzle significantly involve: Technology? Travel? Dishonesty? Vehicles? Homes? Job/occupations? |

********* SPOILER ********** WARSAW (Reuters) - In what has been termed the world's largest "Doh!", a Polish man got the shock of his life when he visited a brothel and spotted his wife among the establishment's employees. Polish tabloid Super Express said the woman had been making some extra money on the side while telling her husband she worked at a store in a nearby town. "I was dumfounded. I thought I was dreaming," the husband told the newspaper Wednesday. The couple, married for 14 years, are now divorcing, the newspaper reported. Now there is a stunner. |

Perhaps it is she who was merely working as a prostitute, and became upset because he was out looking for one? My guess is a little of both. |
