A Black man and his wife are going to a Halloween party in a couple of days, so the husband asks his wife to go to the store and get costumes for them to wear.

When he comes home that night, he goes into the bedroom and finds, laid out on the bed, a Superman costume.

The husband calls to his wife, "What are you doing, honey?" he says. "Have you ever heard of a Black Superman? Can you take this back and get me something else to wear?"

The next day, the wife, not too happy, returns the costume and gets a replacement. The husband comes home from work and goes into the bedroom. There, laid out on the bed, is a Batman costume.

He yells to his wife, "What are you doing? Have you ever heard of a Black Batman? Take this shit back and get me something I can wear to the costume party!"

The next morning, his irate wife goes shopping. When the husband comes home again from work, he fins there, laid out on the bed, three items: one is a set of three white buttons, the second is a thick white belt, and the third item is a 2X4 piece of wood.

The husband yells again to his wife, "What the hell are these for?"

The wife yells right back, "Take your clothes off. You can put these three white buttons on the front of you and go as a domino. If you don't like that one, you can put the white belt on and go as a an Oreo cookie. And if you don't like that one, you can stick the 2X4 up your ass and go as a fudge sickle."
