What a Man Can Do ,A Woman Cannot Do
Husband and wife are inside their bed room sleeping,The wife is bordered and couldn`t sleep.She woke her husband,so as to iron out some issues.The clock indicates 1.45am.
WIFE: I don`t think I can bear this any more
HUSBAND:what`s the problem darling?
WIFE: The burden of this family is too much for me.It`s almost a year now.
HUSBAND:Don`t worry,It`s for a short time,I will soon take over my responsibility
WIFE: May be you should have taken that bribe of 2 million.
HUSBAND:What?Don`t say it again,sell my conscience and go against my principles and allow the importation of fake drugs.No way!The principles that I maintained jealously before hooking up with you.
WIFE: I know,I know;HHTT-Honesty,Humility,Truthfulness and Tolerance.
HUSBAND:Yes,my darling;you can still remember.
WIFE: But,look at what we`re been through because of losing your job.
HUSBAND:Don`t worry,I will get another one soon;...And you call yourself an advocator for women...what a man can do a woman can do better.Isn`t it?
WIFE: Yes,I believe in that.
HUSBAND:Then,what have you just done?I carried the burden of this family for ten years without complaining,you did it for eleven months and you are complaining.
WIFE: I still believe that women are better in understanding and governing than men.
HUSBAND:I disagree;There are some things that men can do and women cannot do them.
WIFE: I do not concur with that idea
HUSBAND:Okay,I will prove it to you experimentally.
HUSBAND:Follow me to the toilet,I will get two empty beer bottles; I will urinate in one and you in the other.No drop of urine should be on the toilet floor after urination.
WIFE: Oh,No!Darling you`ve won.I agree with you;I can`t do it.
You are wise,no woman can do it without pouring..
HUSBAND:You can now see;The head is always the head.let`s go back to bed.
