lol all

A true story: twenty odd years ago I bought a new dinner suit. I remarked to my wife that the jacket pockets were sewn up. My wife assured me that dinner suit jackets did not have pockets as such.

I have worn the suit on a very regular basis ever since.

Last month, at a fairly elegant 'do' my wife got talking to some men. As soon as we got home, my wife took my jacket of me and started to mess with the pockets.

Lo and behold, she unpicked two pockets (that is the opposite of picking pockets) and exposed them to view.

For twenty years I had been trying to tell her that there should be pockets, but no she was convinced that there weren't.

Only when my observations were confirmed by someone else did she finally believe me :-|

on the positive side, there was no build up of fluff in the pockets :-D

vacuum cleaners
televisions

Actually ZZzzz, it just goes to show how much tastes vary!

For example, I have very good taste as I married my wife. On the other hand, my wife has very poor taste because she married me :-D

Yes, As my dad always said, A marriage can only ever survive whilst a man allows his wife to THINK she is the boss

Roy

Edit, because woman THINK they are the boss is proof that dad was correct

Dear Allan and all

Hello

Hope you are okay.

There's two words a fella needs to learn:

He replies "Yes, love" to every thing his wife says.

Harmony will then prevail!

Take gentle care
Very best wishes
EOS
