A man goes to Fredricks of Hollywood.
He wants to buy his wife the most sheer lingerie he can find.
The woman behind the counter goes and gets an outfit. "This is $200," she says. "I want one that's more sheer," he says. "This one is $350." "I want it even more sheer than that." "This one is the most sheer that we have. It's $500." "I'll take it!"
The man goes home to his wife and shows it to her. He tells her, "Go put this on and come down to model it for me." His wife goes upstairs, opens the box and thinks, "This thing is so see-through that the old coot won't even notice if I'm wearing it or not." So his wife comes down wearing nothing at all and strikes a pose. "So, how do you like it?" she asks. "Damn, you'd think for $500 they'd have ironed the thing!
