THE HENPECKED HUSBAND
A husband was advised by his psychiatrist to assert himself. "You don't
have to let your wife henpeck you. Go home and show her you're the boss."
The man was on fire with enthusiasm and couldn't wait to try the doctor's
advice! He rushed home, slammed the door, shook his fist in his wife's face, and
growled, "From now on, you're taking orders from me. I want my supper right
now, and when you get it on the table, go upstairs, and lay out my best clothes.
Tonight, I'm going out with the boys and you're going to stay home where you
belong. And another thing...you know who's going to comb my hair, iron my pants,
polish my shoes and tie my tie?"
"I certainly do," said his wife calmly, "The undertaker."

sent to your attorney?
