First, Something Funny

Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their
new wives housekeeping duties.

The first man had married a woman from Iowa, and bragged that he had
told his wife she was going to do all the dishes and house cleaning that
needed done at their house. He said that it took a couple days but on
the third day he came home to a clean house and the dishes were all
washed and put away.

The second man had married a woman from Indiana. He bragged that he
had given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes,
and the cooking. He told them that the first day he didn't see any
results, but the next day it was better. By the third day, his house was
clean, the dishes were done, and he had a huge dinner on the table.

The third man had married a girl from Maryland. He boasted that he
told her that her duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed,
lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal. He
said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see
anything, but by the third day most of the swelling had gone down and he
could see a little out of his left eye, enough to fix himself a bite to
eat, load the dishwasher, and telephone a landscaper.

Got to love those girls from Maryland.
