Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new wives duties. The first one had married a girl from <st1:State w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Louisiana</st1lace></st1:State> and had told her that she was going to do dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple days, but on the third day he came home to a clean house and the dishes were washed and put away. The second man married a woman from <st1:State w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Nebraska</st1lace></st1:State>. He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes, and cooking. The first day, he saw no results. The next day was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes done, and there was a huge dinner on the table. The third guy married a girl from <st1:State w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Massachusetts</st1lace></st1:State>. He told her that her duties were to keep the house clean, the dishes washed and hot food on the table for every meal. He said that on the first day, he saw nothing, nor on the second. But by the third day some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, enough to fix himself a bite to eat while he loaded the dishwasher.
