"Well, gee, he was to blame...he MADE me do it with his teasing, hurtful words!"

Maybe he should hold seminars and teach his male parishoners how to cook and use an iron and a mop, broom and vacuum--then there will be harmony in the home.

What an ass!

Love the way these guys--who do not marry--feel so free to give horrible advice on how to keep a "happy home." They need to stop watching the Leave It To Beaver reruns.
