Jenny 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 Jenny 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 girlfriends at the office. "How did it work out?" they asked.
"Well, it was a great dinner, Jenny said. "Charley even cleaned up, helped the kids with their homework, folded the laundry and put everything away. I really enjoyed my evening."
"But what about afterward?" her friends wanted to know.
"It didn't work out," Jenny said. "Charley was too tired."

hahaha
I have another one.
Jenny ask Charley to fix the leaking sink, to what he replied:
"I'm not a plumber!"
Next day, Jenny asked her dear husband Charley if he could please change the light bulbs in the living room, to what he replied:
"I'm not an electrician!"
The following day, Jenny asked Charley if he could please cut the grass, to what he replied:
"I'm not a landscaper!"
The next day, Charley came home, the faucet was fixed, the light bulbs were installed and the grass was neatly cut. Charley, surprised, asked his wife how she could acomplished all of those tasks. She replied:
"Well darling, Mike, our neighbor, offered to change the bulbs, cut the grass and repair the faucet for me. He said that I could either sleep with him or bake him a pie."
then Charley asks: "then what kind of pie did you bake?"
and Jen says... I'm not a damn baker!

Well from personal experience I can tell you that age old sterotype doesn't ring true. You cant find a time that I'm not willing to participate in a little intimacy, and I do most of the household chores (ie kitchen, laundry, 50% dinners, 50% putting child to sleep, etc.) .

They both have the wrong idea.Marriage is about sharing; this would include:each other physically,house work and raising of children.Maybe if they both shared in these responsibilities they both would not be so tired when it was time to share each other.Women stop trying to get men to do all the house work and men stop treating your wives as if they were your personal slaves.

LOL! I knew that punchline was coming and it STILL made me laugh! Good one. ; )
It just goes to show you that you never really know what a person is experiencing until you've walked a mile in their shoes.

I guess the magazine article was correct.
