My friend and bandmate, Lindsay, gave me a really funny daily calendar as a bridesmaid’s gift this summer when she got married.  Thought I’d share today’s entry:

A guy was telling his friend that he and his wife had a serious argument the night before.

“But it ended,” he said, “when she came crawling to me on her hands and knees.”

“What did she say?” asked the friend.

The husband replied, “She said, ‘Come out from under that bed, you coward!’”

  • “If you have a female child, set her to sewing and not to reading, for
    it is not suitable for a female to know how to read unless she is going

  • Marrying a divorced man is ecologically responsible. In a world where there are more women than men, it pays to recycle.
  • Men are very confident people. My husband is so confident that when he watches sports on television, he thinks that if he concentrates he can help his team. If the team is in trouble, he coaches the players from our living room, and if they’re really in trouble, I have to get off the phone in case they call him.
