Pedro ... why? why?
When Pedro and Maria got married, he was a very experienced man, but she was totally naïve. On their wedding night, when Pedro removed his clothes, Maria said, "Pedro! What is that?"
Pedro was a quick thinker. "Maria, I am the only man in the world with one of these." And then he proudly showed her what it was for. Maria was happy. After the honeymoon was over, Pedro returned to work, only to return home to find an upset Maria waiting on their front porch.
"Pedro, you said you were the only man in the world with one of those and yet today, when I saw Gonzalez changing his clothes behind the shed, he had one, too!"
Ever fast on his feet, Pedro said, "Oh, Maria, Gonzalez is my best friend. Since I had two, I gave him one. So he is the only other man in the world with one." A sceptical Maria accepted this answer, but when Pedro returned home the next day, an agitated Maria was waiting on the porch.
"Maria? Now what's wrong?"
"Dammit, Pedro. You gave the best one to Gonzalez!"
