Mike was going to be married to Karen, so his
father sat him down for a friendly little father-son chat.
He said, "Mike, let me tell you something
important. On my wedding night, in our honeymoon suite, I took off my
pants, handed them to your mother,and said, "Here -
try these on." She did and said, "These are too big, I can't wear
them."
"I replied, "Exactly, I wear the pants in this
family and I always will. Ever since that night we never had any
problems."
"Hmmm," said Mike. He thought that might be a
good thing to try. On his first honeymoon night, Mike took off his pants and said to Karen, "Here - try these on." She tried them on and said, "These are too
large. They don't fit me."
Mike said, "Exactly. I wear the pants in this
family and I always will. I don't want you to ever forget that."
Then Karen took off her pants and handed them
to Mike. She said, "Here you try on mine."
He did and said, "I can't get into your pants.
Karen said, "Exactly. And if you don't change
your smart-ass attitude, you never will.
And they lived happily ever after.
