(General talk about) jokes and humour

[fool-ish]

Ah! A little more and I'd have got there!

I'm not overly a fan of jokes, and usually groan when my family want to share them with me, but here's another one that made me grin:

A mild-mannered man was tired of being bossed around by his wife so he went to a psychiatrist.
The psychiatrist said he needed to build his self-esteem and so gave him a book on assertiveness. He read it on the way home and had finished the book by the time he reached his house.
The man stormed into the house and walked up to his wife.
Pointing his finger in her face, he said, "From now on, I want you to know that I am the man of this house, and my word is law! I want you to prepare me a gourmet meal tonight and, when I'm finished eating my meal, I expect a sumptuous dessert afterward. Then, after dinner, you're going to draw me a bath so that I can relax. When I'm finished with my bath, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?"
"The funeral director," said his wife.

The wife in me thought, "Oh, yeah!"
