When he’s late for dinner, I know he’s either having an affair or is lying dead in the street. I always hope it’s the street.

Meaning of the quote

This quote is about a woman who worries when her husband is late for dinner. She thinks he is either cheating on her or has been in a bad accident. She says she hopes he is actually just lying dead in the street, which seems like a dark and morbid thing to say. The quote is trying to be humorous but also shows how the woman is very concerned about her husband's behavior and safety.
