26. Joke 1: The joke is funny because the wife wanted to change the dress her husband had given her. If women pay for their dresses they can, of course, change them if they do not like them.

27. However, the wife is treating the dress as if the husband has bought it for her when he has really stolen it. People do not usually change stolen goods if they do not like them. They may get caught as they have done. So that is why this joke is funny.

28. Joke 2: parents often ring up school to explain why their child cannot come to school. The humour lies in the fact that the voice on the phone gives it away that it is the child speaking and not the parent. A child (however much they want to) cannot give themselves permission not to come to school. That is why it is funny.
