Canadian wives tale

[Bitter End]

Three men married wives from different countries. The first man married a woman from China. He told her that she was to do their dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day, he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away.

The second man married a woman from Italy. He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done and there was a huge dinner on the table.

The third man married a girl from Canada. He ordered her to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything but by the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher.

At a World Women's Conference, the debate was on the role of the sexes in the home.
The first speaker from Canada stood up:
"At last year's conference we spoke about being assertive with our husbands. Well, after the conference I went home and told my husband from now on he would need to do his own cooking.
On the first day, I saw nothing.
On the second day, I also saw nothing.
Then on the third day I saw he had cooked a lovely roast beef."
The crowd cheered.

The next speaker from France stood up:
"Last year I went home to my husband and said I would no longer do his laundry. On the first day I saw nothing. On the second day I also saw nothing, but on the third I saw he had done not only his own laundry but all of the family's."
The crowd erupted.

The third speaker from Glasgow, resplendent in football top, stood up:
" Efter last year's Conference, ah went hame and tellt ma man that ah widnae dae his cookin',cleanin' or shoppin' and he wis tae dae it himsel'.
Eftir the furst day ah saw nuthin'.
Eftir the second day ah saw nuthin'.
But eftir the thurd day ah could see a wee bit oot o' ma left eye".
