My wife said that she had a huge bag full of her used clothing that she wanted to donate to charity. I said I thought it would be easier just to throw them away. She said that she'd rather give them to someone poor and starving. I responded, Sugar, anyone who will fit into these clothes is definitely NOT starving!
The doctor said my broken jaw and eye socket should be near healed in 6 months!!
(Just a joke, just in case Shirl reads this - she is actually 5'1" 125 lbs.)

Shirl may be 5'1" 125 pounds but she packs quite a punch.

Yeah; to be specific, a left cross and right hook! Come to think about it, her uppercut is dynamite as well!

...like that old joke: Guys who don't mention their wives' weight live longer than those who do. 😉

Tony, you must be terrified of her to have added that codicil.

Sorry to hear about your codicil, Tony. I had a friend who had his removed. HE's fine now...but still terrified of his wife. 😜

@jkuvakas I love codicil; especially battered.

David, John, yep, that's why I added it. I boxed in the Army; record was 16-0. But I would not step into the ring with the Shirlmeister; uh, uh! SHE fights dirty!!

Here's another real-world tip: Before emphatically answering "YES!" to any question your wife asks you, PLEASE make sure that you heard her correctly. Years ago, Carol asked me if her outfit made her look cute. In the interest of keeping all of my teeth, I replied "YES"! Loudly, clearly, and without hesitation.
When I regained consciousness, I realized that the words "cute" and "huge" sound an awful lot alike if you are not paying close attention.
Since then, I have requested that she submit all questions to me in writing.
