When Lisa suggested a game of catch to her husband Mark, she never expected to stumble upon his financial fastball. Mark’s odd behavior rushing to retrieve the ball himself with a panicked “I’LL GET THE BALL MYSELF!” — aroused Lisa’s suspicions.
The next day, her curiosity led her to investigate his sports gear. Among the clutter, she discovered a tennis ball with a peculiar shape. Upon closer inspection, Lisa found a small knife cut revealing an unexpected prize inside: cold, hard cash.
It seems Mark’s “ball fund” gave a whole new meaning to “serving an ace.” As we edge closer to our top spot, remember: your husband’s secret stash might be hiding in objects meant for play. Keep your eyes on the ball, ladies – you never know what you might catch!
