That's what mates are for!

[Zummertor]

Friendship among women:

A woman doesn't come home at night. The next day she tells her husband she slept over at a friend's house. The man calls his wife's 10 best friends. None of them know about it.

Mateship among men:

 

A man doesn't come home at night. The next day he tells his wife he slept over at a mate's house. The woman calls her husband's 10 best mates. 8 of them say he did sleep over and 2 claim he's still there.
