The Mayor is dangerously sick on his bed. Next to him is his wife.
M: "My wife... I may die now. But there is one thing that is bugging me very much... Tell me, have you ever cheated on me?"
W: "Err, actually yes... three times."
M: "Three times?!"
W: "But it was for your own good!"
M: "Really? Do tell..."
W: "Uh, remember when you were working in a factory, and you wanted a raise, but your boss wouldn't give it to you?"
M: "Yes, yes I do."
W: "...didn't he eventually give it to you?"
M: "You did that for me? Thank you, that was really sweet! The next time?"
W: "Uh, remember when you wanted to join the city council, but the Director wouldn't accept you?"
M: "Well yes, I do."
W: "...he eventually accepted you, didn't he?"
M: "Oh, wow! You're such a good girl! To think that you would do that for me... I'm really proud."
M: "And the third time?"
W: "Uh.. remember when you were running for Mayor? The result was close, and we had to go into repeat elections. The first election showed that you were behind by 400 votes."
M: "Yes, I remember. Oh God, I was really anxious during that time..."
W: "...you were eventually elected Mayor, weren't you?"
