I got this in my e-mail from Mom:
The Pants
Mike was going to be married to Karen so his father
sat him down for a little chat. He said, 'Mike, let me
tell you something. 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. can't wear them .' I
replied, 'Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I
always will.' Ever since that night, we have never had
any problems.
'Hmmm,' said Mike. He thought that might be a good
thing to try.
On his honeymoon, 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.'
