To be six again!
A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday. "I'd love to be six
again," she replied. On the morning of her birthday, he got her up bright
and early and off they went to a local theme park. What a day! He put her
on every ride in the park: the Death Slide, the Screaming Loop, the Wall
of Fear-everything there was! Wow! Five hours later she staggered out of
the theme park, her head reeling and her stomach upside down. Right to a
McDonald's they went, where her husband ordered a Big Mac for her along
with extra fries and refreshing chocolate shake. Then it was off to a
movie-the latest StarWars epic, and hot dogs, popcorn, Pepsi Cola and
M&Ms. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband
and collapsed into bed. He leaned over and lovingly asked, "Well, dear,
what was it like being six again?" One eye opened. "You idiot, I meant my
dress size."
The moral of this story is: If a woman speaks and a man is there to hear
her, he will get it wrong anyway.
