People have different types of relationships but I think most of us would agree that they work best when there is some give and take. Without it, problems are sure to occur.
In this joke, we see what happens when the man in the relationship decides that he is going to be the boss. Sure, sometimes things work out in the way he would expect but at other times, it doesn’t.
You don’t have to be married to enjoy this joke. You just need to understand one basic thing about life, and that is people are people.
Three brothers each marry a woman.
The first one married a woman from Minneapolis and said to her:
“When I get back from work, I want the house to be clean and tidy.”
He didn’t see any changes on the first day, but on the second day, the house was clean and tidy.
The second brother married a woman from Dallas and said to her:
“When I get back from work, I want the house to be clean, the laundry done, and have food ready on the table.”
On the first day, he didn’t see any changes, and not on the second day either, but on the third day, it was as he had asked.
The third brother married a woman from Detroit and said to her:
“When I get back from work, I want the house to be clean, the laundry done, and have food ready on the table.”
On the first day he didn’t see anything, and not on the second or third day either.
On the fourth day, he could see a little bit with his left eye and had just enough mobility in his right hand to make himself a sandwich.
