I came in the other day and Mrs. D said “Do you notice anything different about me?”

I asked if she’d had her hair done – she said not.

I asked if she was wearing a new dress – she said not.

“Alright, my love, I give up!” I said. “What is it?”

“I’m wearing a gas mask.”



Well we laughed. What makes your other half laugh?

I make my other half laugh. He'll just look at me a giggle. When I ask him what I've done to make hiim laugh he says "I don't know...you just do!"



Not sure what to make of that :S

Message 23 - I don't know how Mr Wick puts up with me half of the time either - I am the original "Grumpy Old Woman". Just as well he's about the easiest going person I've ever met.

I think shared laughter is the key to a happy marriage - if you can still laugh together after many years, you won't go far wrong.

when we got home, she was bandaged from head to foot, seeing she was in pain, I got her to cook just a quick meal, she did the washing up, then ran the mops round, then I said to her as she was obviously in discomfort "relax, take a break dear .... (waited 2 seconds) ... did you enjoy it, there's ironing to be done you know"



Needless to say I hope she doesn't read this, but like you all above if she does she will laugh!!

I think one of the things to remember is to start as you intend to continue, treat a woman right from day one, none of your fumbling for the bra strap with one hand, donner kebabs and a can of Fanta in the other, no I showed her the high life from day one, slap up mean at a Bernie Inn, bottle of wine, and even offered myself as a sex toy on the way home, totally degrading for me as you will appreciate, but anything to keep the lady happy.

Brian, you are a 'diamond geezer' as they say. You treat a woman like she should be treated and you even degrade yourself. Hold your head high mate in the knowledge that you are a true gentleman.



On another note, years ago women used to pull their hair out over me. But hey, who wants bald headed women?

The PC told her that she should consider herself lucky that at my age I still had it in me..

She replied...I would'nt have minded,... if we wer'nt in the middle of Tesco's !!

One thing that always struck me about women, is how evolution passed them by.

Whilst the average fit male these days can down a gallon of ale, and still sing 'row, row, row your boat gently down the stream' boisterously, women seem to have evolved somewhat more slowly.

Surely by now if Einstein knew what the hell he was talking about, women should have developed a second set of arms, so they can hold the baby and breast feed whilst still ironing, granted they have evolved smaller feet, to stand closer to the sink, but in the main I fear they have been short changed.

Small children too, why have they not evolved a small handle on their backs to make them easier to pick up?

Our boy (just 2) is a fine example I have to say though of male evolution, able to easily open the fridge door, and bring a can of Magners saying 'daddy's juice'

It seems the male species is firmly on the road to success, whilst our female assistants lag behind.

Not meant to be a sexist comment, just observation
