JUST
KIDDING!
Spousal
humor
Someone recently stole my
credit card, but I won't be reporting it. The thief spends less
than my wife.
When we are out together, my wife and I always hold hands. If I
let go, she shops.
My wife was in the beauty shop for two hours... and that was just
for the estimate.
She went back to the beauty shop and got a mudpack. She looked
great... then the mud fell off.
