Honey what did you do today?

    One afternoon a man came home from work to find total mayhem in his
    house. His three children were outside, still in their pajamas,
    playing
    in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the
    front yard. The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front
    door
    to the house and there was no sign of the dog

    Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp
    had
    been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In
    the
    front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the
    family
    room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.

    In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was
    spilled
    on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled
    on
    the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of
    sand
    was spread by the back door.

    He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more
    piles
    of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she may be ill, or
    that
    something serious had happened.

    He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out
    the
    bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap
    and
    more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap
    and
    toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls.

    As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up
    in the
    bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled,
    and
    asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What
    happened here today?'

    She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come
    home
    from work and you ask me what in the world did I do today?'
    'Yes,' was his incredulous reply.
    She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it.'
    :D

    Different sense of humour i guess!!!!

    If i had to choose any man jokes as having gotten a good laugh out of me it would be the following!

    "What do you call a handcuffed man?"
    "Trustworthy!"

    or

    "What does it mean when a man is in your bed gasping for breath and calling your name?"

    "You didn't hold the pillow down long enough."

    and finally...........

    "Why do men like smart women?"
    "Opposites attract!"


    No problem at all with man jokes, it's just that the one in the OP wasn't very funny in my opinion! :D


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,698 Mod ✭✭✭✭Silverfish


    Because its relevant for women.

    Men will probably not find it funny, as it's in that huge blank spot they tend to have for these things. You find those jokes funny as they are just versions of jokes where you can insert 'woman' in for 'man' and tell them to the lads.
    Not the case with the one above, which is why its funny for women, but not for men.

    Eh, thats why i said "different senses of humour i guess!". :)

    And personally i have never heard female versions of 1 and 3. :(

    no way of telling if people posting or reading a froum have kids or not, and like Cathoo said you dont need kids to appreciate it!

    I loved it, made me smile no matter how sterotypical it is


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,794 ✭✭✭JC 2K3


    But it's not like the man is made out to be particularly selfish or anything in the joke. I mean if he decided not to work, then they wouldn't have a house or any possessions...

    The joke, therefore, could essentially just be written as : "LOL, ONE DAY A WOMAN WAS A CÚNT LOL",which tbh isn't really funny....

    Em, no. She was showing her husband what happens when she doesn't do what she normally does all day. So the next time he comes home, he won't even have to ask 'What did you do all day', he'll know.

    I'm still lost....

    Is it just assuming male ignorance of what a housewife actually does or something?

    what means is "husbands think housewives sit at home all day doing nothing" but as far as i can see it is true tbh. none of friends work, they are all stay at home mothers, who continually seem to be at coffee mornings for various things or eating biscuits watching daytime telly, and they get annoyed at me when they ask things like did you see home and away or richard and judy or whatever and i have to point that "no, i have a job"

    oh dear, are you trying to start an argument? :rolleyes: very sweeping generalisation there.

    I have to disagree, many of us dont read the other forums everyday and this is a joke for the ladies


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,325 ✭✭✭Eviledna


    Oh hehee , the joke was mildly bemusing, but the responses and subsequent explanations of the mildly bemusing joke have now made for great, hilarious reading. And now I add my pointing-out-the-obviousness!:D

    ROFL-hovercraft.

    no arguement, just a fact of what my friends do
