5x7 Framed cartoon by Scotty "'I better get back to John—I put him on hold.'"

The Joke ExplainedThe Absurd Situation: The humor comes from the sheer nonchalance and rudeness of the situation. The woman is presumably in bed with an affair partner or a new lover, yet she treats her current phone call with the other man (John) as a minor interruption rather than the main event.Inverted Etiquette: Putting someone "on hold" is professional or polite phone etiquette meant for brief interruptions (like grabbing a file or answering a quick question). Applying it to infidelity—putting one partner on pause while she spends time with the other—completely subverts normal social boundaries.
