My wife just reminded me:
"The garbage gets collected tomorrow morning
And you'd better take it out now."
Why doesn't she take it out herself once in a while?
Why do I have to do it all the time?
I've always been a supporter of gender equality,
But women don't seem to want equality for men.
Why do I have to get up to give a woman a seat,
Hold the door open for a woman,
Pick up the bill in a restaurant,
And why can't they put the seat down,
Since I've had to lift it up?
I asked my wife why I always have to
Carry out the garbage.
She replied:
"Because men have to be punished! "
"Oh, " I said, "well, okay, that makes sense, "
And I went to tie up the plastic bags and
Carry them down.

1 - NOW you're [finally] learning! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! except at night, when i pee, standing in the bathroom, into a large empty plastic vinegar jug [with opening enLARGED], OR when a wall urinal is available, OR i'm outdoors, roughing it, i sit on the toilet seat to pee and like to put the seat cover down before flushing [my mate wants the cover open; oh well].
