Yes you are correct - It's obvious what is going on, but it doesn't make sense as a joke.
The punch line is longer than the set up, it feels awkward. It makes more sense if you reverse the two lines, plus it leaves a bit of playful ambiguity over whether the husband is genuinely oblivious, doesn't care that his wife is cheating, or if he's just mad for clean windows.

My mate went to a fancy dress party dressed like a Nipple. He liked it but I thought he looked like a tit.

In late breaking news the Coronation Street cast is to give evidence at the trial of Bill Roache. Sorry, my mistake. It's the Coronation Street cat.

Traffic chaos on the M5, as most of Norfolk heads for the Somerset Levels desperate to put their webbed hands and feet to good use.
Inspired by Kevin Costner's "Waterworld", residents of Somerset are building a new, water-based society on the flooded levels. Outsiders have been warned to stay away from Getorfmy Land.
