This is one of my favorite jokes ever. about a lazy husband.

Talking The Considerate Husband (lol)

       You may have read this before but it made me smile

       Matrimonial advice from a considerate husband

       It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes

       harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they

       were younger. When you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are
       oversensitive, and there's nothing worse than an oversensitive woman.

       My name is Jeff. Let me relate how I handled the situation with my wife,
       Susie.

       Since I retired several years ago, it has became necessary for Susie to
       get a full-time job along with her part-time job, both for extra income
       and for the health benefits that we needed.

       Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was beginning to show
       her
       age. I usually get home from the golf club about the same time she gets
       home from work.

       Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says she has to
       rest
       for half an hour or so before she starts dinner. I don't yell at her.
       Instead, I tell her to take her time and just wake me when she gets
       dinner
       on the table. I generally have lunch in the Men's Grill at the club so
       eating out is not reasonable. I'm ready for some home-cooked grub when I
       hit that door.

       She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. But now it's not

       unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after dinner. I do

       what I can by diplomatically reminding her several times each evening
       that
       they won't clean themselves. I know she really appreciates this, as it
       does seem to motivate her to get them done before she goes to bed.

       Another symptom of aging is complaining, I think. For example she will
       say
       that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during

       her lunch hour. But, boys, we take 'em for better or worse, so I just
       smile and offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or
       even three days. That way she won't have to rush so much. I also remind
       her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't hurt her any (if
       you know what I mean). I like to think tact is one of my strong points.

       When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest periods.
       She had to take a break when she was only half finished mowing the yard.
       I
       try not to make a scene. I'm a fair man. I tell her to fix herself a
       nice,
       big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while.
       And, as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one
       for me too.

       I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Susie. I'm
       not saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Many men will
       find it difficult. Some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better than

       I do how frustrating women get as they get older.

       However, guys, even if you just use a little more tact and less criticism

       of your aging wife because of this article, I will consider that writing
       it was well worthwhile. After all, we are put on this earth to help each
       other.

       Sincerely, Jeff
EDITOR'S NOTE:

Jeff died suddenly on March 1 of a perforated rectum. The police report
says he was found with a Calloway extra long 50-inch Big Bertha Driver II

golf club jammed up his rear end, with barely 5 inches of grip showing
and
a sledge hammer laying nearby.

His wife Susie was arrested and charged with murder. The all-woman jury
took only 15 minutes to find her Not Guilty, accepting her defence that
Jeff somehow, without looking, accidentally sat down on his golf club.
