“You embarrassed me this evening.” Reginald undid his cufflinks, back turned to his wife.

“How so?” Clarissa asked. “Do you mean by talking with that interesting young actor all evening?

“You know that’s what I mean,” Reginald snapped, turning to face her. “Everyone saw that ridiculous display.”

“Please.” Clarissa rolled her eyes, enjoying his all too evident rage. “Do you think everyone, including me, doesn’t know you’re doing that stripper down on Forty-Second street?

Reginald’s eyes bulged. He really had thought she didn’t know.

“Regardless,” Clarissa finished, “if you think tonight was embarrassing, wait until I leave you for Marilyn.”

I don’t know about you, but I think Reginald had it coming. I don’t remember the inspiration for this BMAC story.
