Just as he was about to storm out of the house, his lover stopped him with these words: "Before you leave, I want you to hear how this all came about:"

"Driving home, I saw this young guy, looking poor and tired, I offered him a ride. He was hungry, so I brought him home and fed him some of the roast you had forgotten about in the refrigerator."

"His shoes were worn out so I gave him a pair of your shoes you didn't wear because they were out of style."

"He was cold so I gave him that new birthday sweater you never wore even once because the color didn't suit you."

"His trousers were worn out so I gave him a pair of yours that you don't fit into anymore."

"Then as he was about to leave the house, he paused and asked, 'Is there anything else that your lover doesn't use anymore?"

"And so, here we are!"
