A married couple go on a cruise. The husband is a quiet, unassuming sort and his wife is a domineering harridan who rules him with a rod of iron.
On the first night, after dinner, they take a drink in the bar then the wife announces she's off to their cabin. The husband asks if it's all right for him to stay and have a nightcap and she agrees and off she goes, telling him not to be long.
He joins a group of men at the bar who are playing a game involving each of them talking on a subject for five minutes, the penalty for failing being a round of drinks. When it comes to his turn, the subject he's given is "***" and he proceeds to regale them with jokes and anecdotes that have them falling off their stools.
Later, back in the cabin, his wife is sitting up in bed waiting for him complete with face cream and curlers. She demands to know why he's taken so long and he tells her about the game. 'And what subject did you choose? she demanded.
He had to think quickly and said 'Yachting.'
She snorted and told him to get to bed.
Next morning at breakfast, she was amazed as all these blokes stopped as they passed their table, greeting her husband and slapping him on the back. She finally grabbed one by the arm and asked what was going on.
'You're old man had us in stitches last night. He certainly seems to know his subject.'
'Well I don't know how,' said the wife. 'He's only ever done it twice. The first time he was sick and the second time his hat blew off.'
