Wisdom from Grandpa...

Whether a man winds up with a nest egg, or a goose egg, depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries.
8 y' m: d+ h" h! E; D4 Q
Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt that he forgets his sugar.

: m) h( ]0 S$ t. O6 sToo many couples marry for better, or for worse, but not for good.
. z( y# }( j$ y  N2 X. k
When a man marries a woman, they become one; but the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.

- T$ B8 ^' l8 eIf a man has enough horse sense to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she will never turn into an old nag.

On anniversaries, the wise husband always forgets the past - but never the present.
! x& O& P* H  P' Z3 B# ~: @8 m
A foolish husband says to his wife, 'Honey, you stick to the washin', ironin', cookin' and scrubbin'. No wife of mine is gonna 'work'.

Many girls like to marry a military man - he can cook, sew, and make beds and is in good health, and he's already used to taking orders.

什么样的丈夫堪称愚蠢：当他看见他的妻子在做饭洗衣做家务的时候抱怨说：女人，你能帮我做点有意义的事吗？
