"Mary and Her Hubby"
Mary was married to a male chauvinist. They
both worked full time, but he never did anything
around the house and certainly not any housework.
That, he declared, was woman's work.
But one evening Mary arrived home from work to
find the children bathed, a load of wash in the
washing machine and another in the dryer, dinner
on the stove and a beautifully set table, complete
with flowers.
She was astonished, and she immediately wanted
to know what was going on. It turned out that
Charley, her husband, had read a magazine article
that suggested working wives would be more
romantically inclined if they weren't so tired from
having to do all the housework in addition to holding
down a full-time job.
The next day, she couldn't wait to tell her friends in
the office. "How did it work out?" they asked.
"Well, it was a great dinner," Mary said. "Charley
even cleaned up, helped the kids with their homework,
folded the laundry and put everything away."
"But what about afterward?" her friends wanted to know.
"It didn't work out," Mary said. "Charley was too tired."
