Manny was almost 29 years old. Most of his friends had already gotten married, and Manny just bounced from one relationship to the next.
Finally a friend asked him, “What’s the matter, are you looking for the perfect woman? Are you THAT particular? Can’t you find anyone who suits you?”
“No,” Manny replied. “I meet a lot of nice girls, but as soon as I bring them home to meet my parents, my mother doesn’t like them. So I keep on looking!”
“Listen,” his friend suggested, “Why don’t you find a girl who’s just like your dear old Mother?”
Many weeks past before Manny and his friend got together again.
“So Manny. Did you find the perfect girl yet. One that’s just like your Mother?”
Manny shrugged his shoulders, “Yes I found one just like Mom. My mother loved her, they became great friends.”
“Excellent! So… Are you and this girl engaged, yet?”
“I’m afraid not. My Father can’t stand her!”
A man calls home to his wife and says, “Honey I have been asked to go fishing at a big lake up in Canada with my boss and several of his friends. We’ll be gone for a week. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I’ve been wanting, so would you please pack me enough clothes for a week and set out my rod and tackle box. We’re leaving from the office and I will swing by the house to pick my things up. Oh! And please pack my new blue silk pajamas.”
The wife thinks this sounds a little fishy but being a good wife she does exactly what her husband asked. The following weekend he comes home a little tired but otherwise looking good.
The wife welcomes him home and asks if he caught many fish. He says, “Yes! Lots of Walleye, some Blue gill, and a few Pike. But why didn’t you pack my new blue silk pajamas like I asked you to do?”
The wife replies; “I did, they were in your tackle box.”
A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor’s office. After the checkup, the doctor took the wife aside and said, “Your husband is suffering from severe, long-term stress and it’s affecting his cardiovascular system. He’s a good candidate for either a heart attack or a stroke. If you don’t do the following four things, your husband will surely die”.
“First, each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast and send him off to work in a good mood.”
“Second, at lunch time, make him a warm, nutritious meal and put him in a good frame of mind before he goes back to work.”
“Third, for dinner, fix an especially nice meal, and don’t burden him with household chores.”
“Fourth, and most important for invigorating him and relieving stress, have sex with him several times a week and satisfy his every whim in bed.”
On the way home in the car, the husband turned to his wife and asked, “So, I saw the doctor talking to you and he sure seemed serious. What did he tell you?”
“You’re going to die,” she replied.
A husband asked his wife, “If I should die first, would you marry again?”
“I would be heart-broken, of course,” was her reply, “but I think eventually I would remarry.”
“But you wouldn’t bring him here to our house, would you?”
“Why not? I’ve worked and slaved to make this house a home. There is no reason to abandon it.”
“But you wouldn’t sleep in our bed?”
“Well, I wouldn’t run out and buy a new bed right away.”
“Surely, you wouldn’t let him use my golf clubs?”
“Of course not! He’s left-handed!”
