Being assertive to your wife

Morris, a mild-mannered man was tired of being bossed around by his wife Hanna; so he went to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist said he needed to build his self-esteem, and so he gave him a book on assertiveness, which Morris read on the way home. He had finished the book by the time he reached his house.

Morris stormed into the house and walked up to Hanna, his wife. Pointing a finger in her face, he said, "From now on, I want you to know that *I* am the man of this house and my word is law! I want you to prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished eating my meal, I expect a sumptuous dessert afterward. Then, after dinner, you're going to draw me my hot bath so I can relax. And, when I'm finished with my bath, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?"

"Moscowitz...the funeral director," said his wife.
