Dietrich Fischer – TRANSCEND Media Service
A husband tells his wife triumphantly,
“It says here in the newspaper that women use an average of 20,000 words a day, and men only 10,000. It proves women talk too much.”
The wife:
“That’s only because men never listen the first time, we have to repeat everything.”
Husband:
“What did you say?”
