how to be a good husband

Post by Dadaist » 07 May 2005, 15:57

How to be a good husband.

This isn't a fixed list, but :

1. If you have just had a new kitchen fitted, and your worktop is matt black, don't cut vegetables directly on the work surface. Use a chopping board - it doesn't leave lots of white cut marks.

2. If you have just had a new kitchen fitted, and your hob is made of steel, don't use a scouring pad directly on it. Use a normal cloth or maybe a plastic scourer gently - it doesn't leave lots of scratches.

3. If you get crockery as a wedding present, don't break any - especially dinner plates, as there are only a few.

4. If you offer to bring your wife a glass of wine, bring it in a wine glass, not just any old glass from the kitchen cupboard.

Congrats Dada,

I presume you are now banned from the kitchen which I suspect may have been your motive all along?

5. If your hall ceiling needs painted, get up a ladder and do it

6. If said hall needs a dado rail fitted, don't leave the wood lying all over
the stairs for two weeks, do it

7. If smoke detector has been broken for almost a month and you're a
fire alarm engineer, do it

8. If the pump on the fish pond has been broken for two years, fix it

9. If.............

Wow, Dada is that all you have to do in your good husband contract? I think we should swap. Here's why:

We have black work tops but they are granite so you can chop all you want.

Our cooker has an anodised steel top so you can scour til your heart is content.

I have already broken the wedding crockery.

Mrs Porty isn't all that fussy about what she drinks her wine out of.

Deal?
