Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their
new wives household duties.






The first man had married a woman from Baltimore and bragged that he
had told his wife she was going to do all the dishes and house
cleaning. He said it took a couple days but on the third day he came
home to a clean house and the dishes were done.



The second man had married a woman from Cleveland. He bragged that he
had given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes
and the cooking. On that the first day he didn't see any results, but
the next day it was better. By the third day, the house was clean, the
dishes were done and he had a huge dinner on the table.



The third man married a girl from Pittsburgh. He told her that her
duties were to keep the house clean, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry
washed and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first
day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but
by the third day most of the swelling had gone down and he could see a
little out of his left eye --- enough to fix himself a bite to eat,
load the dishwasher, sweep the floor and telephone a landscaper.
