Steve and Linda were just about to be married.  Linda was getting her hair done and talking to her mother.  "Mom, Steve is a wonderful guy and I am so excited to get married, but there is one thing about me that he doesn't know.  When I wake up in the morning, my breath is just terrible.  It is so bad that my plants wilt if I talk to them.  I am afraid that Steve will be offended by it."

Linda's mom thought about that, and replied, "Honey, here is the solution to your problem.  When you wake up in the morning, before you say anything to Steve, go brush your teeth.  That will clear up your bad breath and everything will be fine."  Linda was much relieved by that suggestion.

At the same time, Steve was talking to his dad.  "Dad, its great that I am getting married, but there is one thing I am worried about.  My feet stink.  It is so bad that when I take my shoes off, my dog leaves the room.  I'm concerned that Linda will be put off by it."

Steve's dad responded, "Son, make sure to wear socks to bed.  That will contain the smell so that it won't bother Linda."

Everything went fine for several months, but early one morning Steve woke up and realized that one of his socks had fallen off in the night.  He panicked and started feeling around under the covers for the missing sock.  That woke Linda up, and without thinking she sat up and said, "Is everything alright, honey."  In horror, Steve cried, "Oh my god!  You've swallowed my sock!"
