Ladies

If a man says he will fix it, HE WILL FIX IT. There is NO need to remind him every 6 months about it.

Six months that's it? When my wife wants something done, she does not stop mentioning it, until it is done LOL...

It was a joke probably more poked at us men. Yeah, most women I have known aren't near THAT charitable when they want something done. It is more they wanted it yesterday and will keep nag...um reminding until it gets done.

You know you're in trouble when your wife says, "Honey, do you know what WE need to do?" and she proceeds to describe the next landscaping, gardening or remodeling idea she's come up with. WE?? How bout ME - I'm the one that has to do it!!

usually that's how it goes. The wife creates the idea and I end up with the execution part.

I heard that a door to door salesman went to Sarge's house. They knocked on the door and Sarge answered. They asked to speak to the head of the house. Sarge carefully looks behind his back and when he sees the coast is clear, quietly whispers "it's me". I chose Sarge for that joke since he is a buddy.

I am the King of my castle...

...as long as the wife is not around!


I wear the pants in my house....

...when she's gone to the store!


I can fart in my own home wherever and whenever I want....

...as long as I use the spray!

Can you leave the toilet seat up as long as she's not there?

If the man does what she's asking immediately, there's no need for her to remind him.

When she asks "Is it that hard to put the seat down when you're done?".... I reply with "Is it that hard to put the seat up when you're done?"

Same here... I tell them it's easier for them to reach out and put the lid down than it is for me to bend down to lift it up....we've never argued about it after that

I tried that once - and the response was something about the middle of the night and sitting down without thinking.........

That could work both ways too..............

yea my wife tried that too but i always say that they walked into the bathroom facing the toilet... they can't look to see if the lid is up or down before they turn around and sit?

I mean the lights are always on so what excuse would one have for not looking when you're already facing the toilet? I see flaws in their thinking lol
