The real comeback of a practical
joke should be with loaded club
But, unfortunately few women are
fitted either tempermanetally or
physically to hand their husbands
this convincing bit of repartee when
they are made the butt of hubby's
choicest dinner-table story. There
fore, all you can do is just to writhe
and endure your husbands witt
cisms with what patience you can.

AS for growing a funny bone,
humor is a gift of the gods 1T is

However, you needn't conclude that
you are deficient in humor because
you do not enjoy being ridiculed.
Few of us enjoy the laugh when it is
at our own expense.
