A contractor calls the police and informs them that the woman he had just done a bunch of work for refuses to pay him. The police show up, and the guy starts pointing out everything he had done.
"I purchased all the concrete, and gravel, plus rented the machinery to lay her driveway, then I bought all the posts, more concrete, and the stone to lay out the storm fence surrounding the entire ache of property. I rooted up all the weeds, dead plants, and old sod, hauled it away, and had to pay to drop it off at compost. I then bought, and laid out all new sod. I planted those two trees, and all these ferns. It took me all week to get it done as quickly while maintained the best quality of work. I go to the door, and say it's all done. She goes around the yard complimenting me on the good work I had done, and that she could not be happier with it all. When I tried to give her the invoice, she just laughed at me, and told me to get real. She then walked into the house, and she wont answer the door no matter how much I knock."
The police look around, and even though they are not experts, they too complimented him on a job well done. Seeing no reason as to why she wouldnt pay for the work done, they went to the door and knocked in order to get her side of the story.
When the police knocked and identified themselves, the woman opened the door with a look of unbelievable perplexity. She looked at the contractor with anger, and said "Really? You called the police?"
The police told her everything the contractor had said, and about her refusal to pay.
"Of course I'm not paying for that!"
"Would you mind telling us why you're refusing to pay!"
"Because, he," she said pointing angrily at the contractor, "is my damn husband!"
