This Is SAD


A man has no time TO be decent to
his wife
He gets up early in the morning
with a crouch and has to leave before
it does. Consequently he has no time
to be decent, to her in the morning.
He arrives at the office feeling fine;
and he continues to feel fine until
long in the afternoon, when his duties
begin to crab and flag him. By the
time he gets home at night he is dis
gruntled for the evening. Thus he has
no time to be decent to her in the
evening.
On Sunday he is too worn out with
the work Of the week to do anything
but eat and NOPE.
The average man has plenty of good
disposition, but no time to practice it
on his wife.
