Man and Wife
Posted: March 18, 2003 9:05 am
A mild-mannered man was tired of being bossed around by his wife;
so he
went to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist said he needed to build
his
self-esteem, and so gave him a book on assertiveness, which he read
on
the way home. He had finished the book by the time he reached his
house. The man stormed into the house and walked up to his wife.
Pointing a finger in her face, he said, "From now on, I want you to
know that *I* am the man of this house, and my word is law! I want
you to prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished
eating my meal, I expect a sumptuous dessert afterward. Then, after
dinner, you're going to draw me my bath so I can relax. And, when
I'm finished with my bath, guess who's going to dress me and comb
my hair?"
"The fng funeral director," said his wife.
