Late one evening, a woman nervously calls the police station to report that her husband has gone missing. She tells the dispatcher that he hasn’t come home, isn’t answering his phone, and she’s “very concerned” about his whereabouts. Within the hour, two officers arrive at her house to take a formal report.
They sit her down at the kitchen table and begin asking the usual questions.
“Ma’am, can you give us a physical description of your husband?”
Without hesitation, she sighs dramatically and says, “Oh yes. He’s about 6 foot 2, broad-shouldered, with thick, wavy blonde hair. He has the brightest blue eyes and a smile that just melts your heart. Everyone who meets him instantly loves him.”
The officers jot down the details, exchanging slightly impressed glances. One of them asks, “And what was he wearing when you last saw him?”
She continues, almost dreamily, “Something stylish, of course. He always looks handsome in everything.”
To be thorough, the officers decide to speak with the next-door neighbor to confirm the description. They knock on her door and explain the situation.
“Ma’am, we’re investigating a missing person report. Could you describe the husband next door?”
The neighbor raises an eyebrow. “Describe him? Well… he’s about 5 foot 4 on a good day. Bald as a bowling ball. Bit of a belly on him. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile. He looks like he’s been arguing with life since 1987.”
The officers glance down at their notes, clearly confused.
After they leave, the neighbor walks straight over to the woman’s house and confronts her.
“Why on earth did you give the police such a ridiculous description? That sounds nothing like your husband!”
The woman shrugs calmly and replies, “Look, just because I reported him missing doesn’t mean I actually want him found.”
