So Much Fun
A suspicious husband hired a private eye to check on the movements of his wife. In addition to a written report, the husband wanted a video of his wife's activities.
 
A week later, the detective returned with a film. They sat down together and proceeded to watch it.
Although the quality was less than professional, the man saw his wife meeting another man! He saw the two of them strolling arm in arm and laughing in the park. He saw them enjoying themselves at an outdoor cafe. He saw them dancing in a dimly lit nightclub. He saw them take part in a dozen activities with utter glee.
 
"I just can't believe this," said the distraught husband.
 
"What's not to believe?" the detective said. "It's right up there on the screen!"
 
"I simply can't believe my wife could be so much fun!" the husband replied.
 
 
Who Says Men Don't Remember Anniversaries
 
A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed.
 
She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front him. He appears deep in thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of coffee.
 
"What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room. "Why are you down here at this time of night?"
 
The husband looks up, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating, and
you were only 17?" he asks solemnly.
 
The wife is touched thinking her husband is so caring and sensitive. "Yes, I do," she replies.
 
The husband pauses. The words are not coming easily. "Do you remember when
you father caught us in the back seat of my car?"
 
"Yes, I remember," says the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.
 
The husband continues..."Do you remember when he shoved a shotgun in my face and said, "Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years".
"I remember that too", she replies softly.
 
He wipes another tear from his cheek and says... "I would have gotten out today!"
 
 
Male assertiveness
 
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 funeral director," said his wife.
 
 
Golden Anniversary
 
An aged farmer and his wife were leaning against the edge of their pig-pen when the old woman wistfully recalled that the next week would mark their golden wedding anniversary.
 
"Let's have a party, Homer," she suggested. "Let's kill a pig."
 
The farmer scratched his grizzled head.
 
"Gee, Ethel," he finally answered, "I don't see why the pig should take the blame for something that happened fifty years ago."
 
 
Impossible to Please
 
A group of girlfriends is on vacation when they see a 5-story hotel with a sign that reads: "For Women Only." Since they are without their boyfriends and husbands, they decide to go in.
 
The bouncer, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works. "We have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you are looking for, you can stay there. It's easy to decide since each floor has a sign telling you what's inside."
 
So they start going up and on the first floor the sign reads: "All the men on this floor are short and plain." The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor.
 
The sign on the second floor reads: "All the men here are short and handsome." Still, this isn't good enough, so the friends continue on up.
 
They reach the third floor and the sign reads: "All the men here are tall and plain."
 
They still want to do better, and so, knowing there are still two floors left, they continued on up.
 
On the fourth floor, the sign is perfect: "All the men here are tall and handsome." The women get all excited and are going in when they realize that there is still one floor left. Wondering what they are missing, they head on up to the fifth floor.
 
There they find a sign that reads: "There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that there is no way to please a woman."
