But men never buy socks and pants they carry on with the holey tatty ones they have, WE have to buy them for them because they don't consider them essentials.  Us ladies like nice underwear and don't like to see our men in anything else.Do you want your ladies wearing tatty underwear that is only fit for cleaning the sink?

I will have you know that i get good wear out of my pants.Then i use them as rags for the many jobs,cleaning /oil rags etc.

Don't anyone get upset, they are supposed to be funny!  :D

When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.

Woman inspires us to great things, and prevents us from achieving them.

The great question... which I have not been able to answer... is, 'What does a woman want?

I had some words with my wife, and she had some paragraphs with me.

'Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.'

'There's a way of transferring funds that is even faster than electronic banking. It's called marriage.'

'I've had bad luck with both my wives. The first one left me, and the second one didn't.'

Two secrets to keep your marriage brimming
1. Whenever you're wrong, admit it,
2. Whenever you're right, shut up.
 
The most effective way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it once...

You know what I did before I married? Anything I wanted to.

My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.

A good wife always forgives her husband when she's wrong.

A man inserted an 'ad' in the classifieds: 'Wife wanted'. Next day he received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing: 'You can have mine.'
