One evening a guy walks into his local pub and orders a beer. As the bartender is filling his glass, the man tells him a story.

“Last night my wife crawled into bed with me. She cuddled up beside me and said ‘I’d do anything for a new cashmere sweater’,” he said.

The bartender presents him with his drink and the man takes a sip.

“Then what happened?” said the bartender.

“I said to her ‘Anything eh?” the man said, giving the bartender a bit of a nudge and a wink. “She replied, ‘Oh Darling, anything!’ and squeezed me tighter.”

The bartender gets a sly look across his face, as if knowing what the man is about to say next. “What did you do?” he asked.

The man took another sip of his beer.

“Well, I was a bit shy at first, but then I said ‘Darling, I think it would be really great if you learned how to knit.”
