A bedroom scene. A woman stands in the doorway, recoiling, and shouts "OH MY GOD!" as she catches a man in bed with a blonde woman. Caught in the act, the man tries to talk his way out: "Baby, it's not what it looks like! In fact... in fact YOU'RE cheating on ME." The joke is the absurd, transparently false reversal of blame. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the man's earnest face as he doubles down: "C'mon. Would I tell a lie that dumb?"
