Their marriage dissolved on a misunderstanding.
He told her he would be taking her to Tie Land, but she thought it wasThailand.
When they arrived at the store, she was further confused because all the employees were from Thailand, and the store was temporarily out of ties, only having in stock traditional products from Thailand. To make matters worse, all the employees were speaking in Thai, and none of them wore ties.
“What kind of Tie Land is this?” the husband asked aloud, as his wife simultaneously remarked: “What kind of Thailand is this?”
Neither one of them had expected to be surrounded by artifacts of a foreign land they hadn’t envisioned.
“I’d like to buy some ties,” he stated as he approached the cash register, but his wife slapped him in the face, saying: “How dare you try to purchase a Thai!”
The woman at the cash register told the man: “We’re sorry we don’t have the ties you’re looking for. We hope one day you’ll return to Tie Land in search of the perfect tie.”
“That’s exactly what I’ll do,” the man responded, but it was too much for his wife to bear, and she kicked him a few inches below where his tie hung, screaming: “So that’s what you want?! The perfect Thai?!”
And she stormed out of Tie Land, not knowing what to do with herself, until she stumbled upon an enormous store selling earthenware next door, which was simply called: China.
