Some of my favorite “guidelines” from 1955 . . .
“. . . catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.” Oh yeah. It provides something alright.
“Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him.” Lucy, I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
“Don’t complain if he’s late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night.” Oh, don’t worry. I won’t complain. He won’t hear it coming . . .
“. . . remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.” What if my topic of conversation begins with, honey . . . I’m a little gay . . .
“Don’t ask him questions about his actions or question his judgement . . . you have no right to question him.” You know, these are pretty good. Where can I get a wife?
