Joke of the Month
Who's
in Charge?
There
were three blokes talking in the pub. Two of them are talking
about the amount of control they have over their wives, while
the third bloke remained quiet.
After a while one of the first two turns to the third and
says, 'Well, what about you? What sort of control do you have
over your wife?'
The third fellow says, 'I'll tell you. Just the other night
my wife came to me on her hands and knees.'
The first two blokes were amazed. 'What happened then?' they
asked.
'She said, 'GET OUT FROM UNDER THE BED AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN!'.'
