NEVER answer the question “Does this make me look fat?” There is no correct answer. Pretend you are having a heart attack. It will be better for everyone in the end.
During World War II, poor women would draw a black line up the back of the legs to make it look like they were wearing seamed stockings. Rich women would buy seamless stockings so that it would not look like they were wearing any stockings.

I’ve never been married, but that sounds like a very wise decision for all husbands to follow Earl.

If you’re old enough, tell her the wrinkles must be on your retinas.

Also never assume a woman is pregnant unless she actually tells you she’s pregnant.

This is very much in the same category as wondering out loud when the baby is due…

This is a lesson I seem to have to keep re-learning. You’d think it would sink in sooner or later! :-)

That’s an old saying. They were saying that when Hector was a pup.

Earl I thought you paid attention when Opal gets dressed. My husband never pays attention nor makes those comments.

Another one. If your wife complains you forget to put down the toilet seat after you go, don’t go without lifting the seat.
