A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says, ' I clocked you at 80 miles per hour, sir.'
The driver says, 'Gee, officer I had it on cruise control at 60, perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating.'
Not looking up from her knitting the wife says: 'Now don't be silly dear, you know that this car doesn't have cruise control.'
As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls, 'Can't you please keep your mouth shut for once?'
The wife smiles demurely and says, 'You should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did.'
As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth, 'Damit, woman, can't you keep your mouth shut?'
The officer frowns and says, 'And I notice that you're not wearing your seat belt, sir. That's an automatic $75 fine.'
The driver says, 'Yeah, well, you see officer, I had it on, but took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket.'
The wife says, 'Now, dear, you know very well that you didn't have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when you're driving.'
And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket the driver turns to his wife and barks, 'WHY DON'T YOU PLEASE SHUT UP??'
The officer looks over at the woman and asks, 'Does your husband always talk to you this way, Ma'am?'
I love this part.. :
'Only when he's been drinking.'

If you think the way your husband expects you to do things is bad, look at this! Boy, has life changed a lot since the 1950s. This is a set of rules for "good housewives" from Good Housekeeping magazine from May 13, 1955
1955 Rules For A Good Housewife
1. Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before to have dinner ready on time for your husband's return home from work.
2. Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives.Touch up your makeup, put a ribbon in your hair.
3. Be a little gay (happy) and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is too provide it.
4. Clear away the clutter in your home.
5. Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper, etc. and then run a dustcloth over the tables.
6. Prepare the children, take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces, comb their hair, if necessary, change their clothes.
7. Greet your husband with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.
8. Listen to him. He may have a dozen things to say. Let him talk first---what he has to say is more important than what you have to say.
9. Make the evening his. Never complain if he is late or goes out to eat, even if he's been gone all night.
10. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing, and feminine voice.
11. Don't ask him questions about his actions. Remember, he is the master of the house, and you have no right to question him.
