A certain airport had promotion in which businessmen could bring their wives along for free on business trips. Part of this promotion was to send a letter to the home of the businessmen thanking them for using the promotion.
They had to cancel the program because so many wives called it claiming that they had not been with their husbands and demanded to know who had.
