The producer of a new play sent free tickets to the premiere to some prominent people in town.  In the middle of Act I, a man said to his wife “This is awfully boring. Let’s go home.”   His wife said that wouldn’t be nice, considering that the producer invited them as his guests without any payment.  The husband listened to her, but after the start of Act II he could no longer stand it and told her “I don’t have patience for this.  I’m going to buy two tickets and then we can go home.”
