Subject: Moore on Wives

I was out with one of my best drinking buddies, George, and he was talking about marriage, and then his wife. He drank some, then said, "Well, what it comes down to Jimmy, is... well... my wife just doesn't understand me at all, does yours ?"

I thought about it a minute or two, then said. "I don't think so George, as a matter of fact, I don't recall her ever even mentioning your name at all."

There's just no pleasin' some women at all. Just the other day I was trying to read the paper and naturally, my wife picked that moment to begin a discussion.

I heard her say "...and then I went to see Dr. Gibbons." I grunted a reply, and she raised her voice saying, "Are you listening to me ?"

I put the paper down and said, "Yes sweetheart, I heard every word. You said you went to see Dr. Gibbons. So... how is he ???"

Would y'all believe she didn't talk to me the rest of the evening ?

It's not all that often a wife will confess her faults. Just the other nite my wife said, "Hon, I know I'm not the perfect wife, for one thing, I realize I'm outspoken."

Risking all manner of flying objects, I couldn't resist.
I calmly replied, "Oh... by whom dear ?"

Not that my wife's the jealous type or anything, but one day at work, I had taken this temp who was filling in for my secretary to lunch in gratitude for an outstanding job on a very difficult project.

As luck would have it, there was my wife waiting in the office for my return. The temp, who was truly a ravishing beauty said, "Oh, Mrs. Moore, I'm so happy to meet you. I'm your husband's new secretary."

Within a single heart beat, my wife quietly intoned, "OH ?  Really ?  Were you ???"
