A sociologist, a psychologist, and a mathematician were discussing the ethical, moral, sociological you name it consequences of a married man's having a mistress.The sociologist's opinion was that it is absolutely and categorically unforgivable for a married man to forfeit the bond of matrimony, and engage in such lowly and lustful pursuits.The psychologist's opinion was that although morally reprehensible, if a man must have a mistress to
achieve his full potential as a human being, then he may go ahead
and choose to have a mistress, as long as he is considerate enough to keep
this secret from his wife, and spare her from undue grief.
The mathematician then interjects: "I also believe that if necessary,
a married man is entitled to a mistress. However I do not see why the
affair should be kept secret from the wife. On the contrary, if the affair
is out in the open, then on Friday evenings he may tell his wife that
he is going to see his mistress, tell the mistress that he is going to
be with his wife, then go to his office and do some work!"
