I personally never had a situation, but I did hear of a story that got my interest, so i will share it with you.

A man came home early one day to find his wife in bed with another man, someone who he had never known, they were busy when he walked in on them.

He politely told them to finish what they were doing and asked if they would like some coffee.

Both said yes and he closed the bedroom door and proceeded to the kitchen to make coffee.

He placed the tray with the cups and milk and biscuits on the centre table in the lounge and waited for his wife and lover.

She arrived in the lounge dressed in her bathrobe and the lover was fully clothed.

The husband proceeded to pour coffee for his wife and lover and offered them the biscuits.

Neither wanted as they were both extremely nervous.

The husband began talking to the lover about all kinds of things, except the scenario.

After about an hour, the husband politely asked the lover how much money he had on him, the lover rummaging through his pockets found a R1 note.

The husband took this note and asked the chap never to set foot back in his house again.

He didnt even confront his wife about the incident……….but

The following day he took the R1 note to a dry cleaner and asked them to please try make it look like a new note and steam it and press it. He would collect it later.

He collected the note and went off to a glass shop, he got two pieces of 10mm glass and had the glass shop put the R1 note inbetween the two pieces of glass. Once sealed he took it home and had a bricklayer come to his home and remove a few bricks from the wall in the loung and also close to the ceiling, he had an electrician come in and lay electric cabling and install a light in the opening. He then got the bricklayer back and installed the glass brick containing the R1 note.

Not once did he mention the incident about his wifes infidelity to anyone or even to her. Cool as a cucumber he was………….however,

When ever they had visitors and they sat in the lounge, he would put the light on exposing the R1 note in the glass brick,

When asked why the R1 note in a glass brick , he would reply, ask the wife,she will tell you…..

Needless to say, she ended up in a mental institution in Sandton Johannesburg.
