She threw up her arms, fell backwards off the crate, & left with not a word, only the dirty look a wife can give a husband when she thinks he's probably trying to kill her. I've never had to try so hard to stifle a laugh-couldn't let go until I was on the way home-he didn't think it was funny at all, for some reason.
