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."
