As a married couple, both people in the relationship want to do what they can in order to keep peace in the family and to make sure that we operate as a unit. It often goes nicely, provided we are kind to each other and care about each other’s feelings. That wasn’t what happened in the following joke, however, and a man decided that he was going to be the boss around the house once and for all. Little did he know that his wife had other plans and was about to let him in on them.
The husband had just finished reading a new book entitled, “You Can Be the Man of Your House.”
He stormed over to his wife in the kitchen and announced, “From now on, you need to know that I am the man of this house and my word is Law. You will prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I’m finished eating my meal, you will serve me a sumptuous dessert. After dinner, you are going to go upstairs with me and… well… you get the point.”
“Later, you are going to draw me a bath so I can relax. You will wash my back and towel me dry and bring me my robe… Then, you will massage my feet and hands. Then tomorrow, guess who’s going to dress me and comb my hair?”
Without even looking up from her morning paper the wife replied, “The funeral director would be my first guess.”
