A married man seldom gets the
last word, because of his inability
to remain awake.
Even after a man readies his bot
tom dollar he still has something left
to build hopes on.
To the average man’s mind an
ideal wife is that of a neighbor who
is said to spoil her husband.
Cold storage is a failure when it
comes to keeping an engagement.
