If anyone listens to T-Man Show on KUBE in Seattle, outstanding find with this article. Still can't believe this was ever published! Just friggin' hilarious.

"remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours"

could not have been said better...

"Be a little gay and and a little more interesting for him"

Translation: invite the babysitter over for a threesome featuring girl on girl action!

oh dear lord! I could say a lot about this topic, but i won't.

Or, "Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner or other entertainment (ummm., skiing?) without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very need to relax..."

Didn't they miss something: "and if he beats you, that's just his way of saying you haven't been living up to your duties as a wife. Maybe, for example, you burned his dinner. Try harder next time and this won't happen."

I've seen this before. It's definitely ridiculous by today's standards.

Sounds about right to me.....

I like this one, too. Basically it's saying if he goes out and gets shitfaced after work every night it isn't the wife's place to compain about it!

Sorry Altachic, it's just too funny to even think this was ever published! But let's hear some thoughts from the ladies' perspective as this is obviously very outdated and not normal(wonder if anyone raised objections when it was published?)

Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is master of the house and as such will alwyas exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to quesiton him

Holy !

They forgot the

McCarthy is god, conformity is great, communism is the devil towards the tail end of that.

My mom has an old etiquette book from the mid 40's that includes all those in one section. An entire book, 600+ pages of stuff exactly like that list covering proper behaviour for anyone in any situation. Funny stuff now, pretty serious back then.

Perfect timing for the dreaded V-day tomorrow!

A maggette opinion: this is hilarious, and obviously such outdated crap/bullshit. Obviously very 1950s. We work real jobs now, and don't want anyone questioning or bothering us after we get home from work, either. Respect...it goes both ways. That's about it. I'm glad I was raised in this generation (x, y gen).

In the spirit of the season and for more fun.....

With all due credit to TeleGirl (at least for posting it) from that other (other) site.

Guys, you know the drill. Every 14th of February you get the chance to display your fondness for a significant other by showering her with gifts, flowers, dinner, shows and any other baubles that women find romantic. Every Valentines day you rack your brains for that one special, unique gift that will show your wife or girlfriend that you really do love them more than any other. Now ladies, I'll let you in on a little secret; guys really don't enjoy this that much. Sure seeing that smile on your face when we get it right is priceless, but that smile is the result of weeks of blood, sweat and consideration. Another secret; guys feel left out. That's right, there's no special holiday for the ladies to show their appreciation for the men in their life. Men as a whole are either too proud or too embarrassed to admit it. Which is why a new holiday has been created. March 20th is now officially "Steak and Blowjob Day". Simple, effective and self explanatory, this holiday has been created so you ladies finally have a day to show your man how much you love him. No cards, no flowers, no special nights on the town; the name of the holiday explains it all, just a steak and a BJ. That's it. Finally, this twin pair of Valentine's Day and Steak and Blowjob Day will usher in a new age of love as men everywhere try THAT much harder in February to ensure a memorable March 20th. Its like a perpetual love machine! The word is already beginning to spread, but as with any new idea, it needs a little push to start the ball rolling. So spread the word, and help bring love and peace to this crazy world. And, of course, steak and bjs.
