When I was a boy of ’40s I saw all the housewives looking out their windows on hot summer days to watch the topless garbage men in gym shorts dumping the stuff in the back of their trucks. Unfortunately, they were all dressed like TV moms of the era.
In this household, had my husband said this, he would have received my typical response to his male humor, “a hefty sigh/groan” mix. He would have responded to be careful and not throw out my back.

Once Opal loved his jokes because they made her laugh. Apparently too much of a good thing wore her patience thin.

Corny, but funny. Earl don’t let her deflat your humor.

Earl is also an environmentalist. He keeps recycling his jokes.

Just don’t get stuck looking after it, Earl. After all, you know what they say: waste is a terrible thing to mind.

Actually… go to your sink and look at the embossed lettering on the aluminum ring. It most likely says ‘WASTE DISPOSER’. Not ‘disposal’.

Its time for Earl to DUMP Opal! He needs someone who actually appreciates him.

You’ve got to have a sense of humor to keep your sanity, especially if you are married.

Tell it a few dozen more times.
I find it works wonders.

Good one, Earl! I’d use it myself, but since I already take out the trash without my wife asking me, I don’t get the opportunity.

My wife’s the same way. I have a sarcastic humor and she hates it.
