The Husband on the Scale

A wife saw her husband weight himself on the scale trying to suck in his stomach. The wife thought he was trying to reduce his weight on the scale, so she said, "You know, I don't think that will help you." The husband replies, "Of course it helps. It's the only way I can see the number on the scale!"

O'Toole Babysitting

O'Toole volunteered to take care of his numerous children so that Mom could have an evening out. At bedtime he sent the youngsters upstairs to bed and settled down to read. One child kept creeping down the stairs, but O'Toole kept sending him back up. At 10 o'clock the doorbell rang. It was the next door neighbor, Mrs. O'Brien. She asked if her son was there and O'Toole said no. Just then a little head appeared over the banister and a voice shouted. "I'm here Mom, but he won't let me go home."

Paradox of Woman

• If you kiss her, you are not a gentleman. If you don't, you are not a man.
• If you praise her, she thinks you are lying. If you don't, you are good for nothing.
• If you agree to all her likes, she is abused. If you don't, you are not understanding.
• If you make romance, you are an 'experienced man'. If you don't, you are half a man.
• If you visit her too often, she thinks it is boring. If you don't, she accuses you of double crossing.
• If you are well-dressed, she says you are a playboy. If you aren't, you are a dull boy.
• If you are jealous, she says it's bad. If you aren't, she thinks you do not love her.
• If you attempt a romance, she says you didn't respect her. If you don't, she thinks you do not like her.
• If you are a minute late, she complains it is hard to wait. If she is late, she says that's a girl's way.
• If you visit another, she accuses you of being a heel. If she is visited by another, 'oh it's natural, we are girls'.
• If you kiss her once in a while, she professes you are cold. If you kiss her too many, she yells that you are taking advantage.
• If you fail to help her in crossing the street, you lack ethics. If you do, she thinks it's just one of the man's tactics.
• If you stare at others, she accuses you of flirting. If she is stared by others, she says that they are just admiring.
• If you talk, she wants you to listen. If you listen, she wants you to talk.
