Humor about wives, family humor

Wives

    I told my wife I feel old, fat, bald, useless, and stupid. She said, "Don’t be silly — you’re not old."

     My wife has trouble opening pickle jars. Apparently, that involves a different set of muscles than slamming doors.

    Q: Does British worm research indicate that a male’s life is shortened by failure to control: (a) his lust; (b) his eating; or (c) his sleeping?
    
A: His lust. Male worms that gave up on constantly chasing female worms lived twice as long as the females. Those males that kept up the chase died young (New Scientist journal).

     I promised to stay with her through sickness and health, but not through All My Children!

     I used to live life in the fast lane--until my wife showed up with a radar gun.

    I don't know what to get my wife for her birthday. She's hardly worn the sweatband I got her last year.

    Q: Your cheap masking tape keeps tearing in ways you just don’t appreciate. Should you: (a) burn it and buy some good stuff; (b) throw it through the store window where you bought it; or (c) zap it in the microwave?
    
A: Zap in on high for 15 seconds, and it’ll tear like the good stuff (Tightwad Living magazine).

     It happened again last night. My wife and I were playing Scrabble to see who did the laundry—and she spelled "Schwarzenegger!"

     My wife is very creative. In fact, a little too creative. How many people do you know who substitute Milk of Magnesia for white sauce?

     I really hate washing dishes. They make so much noise in the spin cycle.

     You have to be careful what you say. I told my wife it wouldn’t hurt her to take out the trash. Now I can’t find my golf clubs.

     Have you ever noticed, at the magazine racks, they have all those magazines for new brides, and not one for new grooms?

     Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?"
     "Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life," her mother tried to explain, keeping it simple.
     The child  thought about this for a moment, then said, "So why's the groom wearing  black?" [From Gary R. Heacock]

     Some wives just don't have a sense of humor. Take my advice, never put a sign in the front yard that says, "Beware--Pit Mother-in-Law!"

     When my wife goes home to her mother, I always go with her. It’s the only way I can get a decent meal.

     My wife read that in Europe they think a woman becomes more exciting after she's 35. Now she wants to move.
