"Well, well! I thought I spotted a beautiful woman, but it's my wife!" I said this to my partner, who was doing the dishes in the kitchen as I went to make coffee.

However, I inadvertently let my guard down and muttered,
"Good grief..."
That slip of the tongue marked the end of my luck (continued...).
