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 |
