Domestic Chores

"Domestic Chores"*

*Although a bright and able man, my husband is
almost completely helpless when faced with even
the simplest domestic chore.

One day, in exasperation, I pointed out to him that
our friend, Betty had taught her husband Frank, to
cook, sew and do laundry, and that if anything ever
happened to Betty, Frank would be able to care for himself.

Then I said, "What would you do if anything happened to me?"

After considering that possibility for a moment, my
husband said happily, "I'd move in with Frank."

"Hunting Mess"*

*Duck decoys, fishing rods, boots . . . outdoor
gear of all kinds was piled high in the garage.
One day I found my wife staring at the mess.

"I hope I die first, so I don't have to get rid of all this," she sighed.

"Look on the bright side," I suggested. "If I go
first, you can put an ad in the paper. When all
the men come by to check out the stuff, you
can pick out a replacement for me."

Still staring at the pile, she said, "Nah. He wouldn't be my type."
