The little woman actually has
winning ways, tho. She wins every
time. Recently, we had the kitchen
rather disarranged due to the fact
that plumbers and carpenters had
been working about the house. She
calls. ~~~Dear, can you leave the
office long enough to come home
and move a couple of things for
me?~ It was one of my_ busiest
days, but I didn~t have the heart
(or the courage) to argue. i

After two hours of moving furnfture thither and yon, accumulating
blisters, I start to leave and she
breaks my heart.

~Thanks, dear, now I can sweep
and dust. Conscience wouldn~t have
let me make the bridge club tonight with the. house in such a&
mess.~

I just ~stand we have more ~ae
than monkeys do, don~t you? |
