 Posted: 05/31/03 - 08:36 Post subject: "Woman's Work"
Mary was married to Charlie, a male chauvinist.
They both worked full time, but he never did
anything around the house and certainly not any
housework. "That," he declared, "is woman's work!"
One evening, Mary 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 Charlie 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.
Mary said, "Charlie 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," Mary said, with a smile. "Charlie
was too tired."
