Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had set their
new wives straight on their domestic duties. The first man had married
a woman from Italy and boasted that he had told his wife she was to do
all the dishes and house cleaning that needed to be done. He said that
it took a couple days but on the third day he came home to a clean
house and the dishes were all washed and put away. The second man had
married a woman from France. He bragged that he had given his wife
orders that she was to do all the cleaning, all the dishes, and the
cooking. He told them that the first day he didn't see any results, but
the next day it was better. By the third day, his house was clean, the
dishes were done, and he had a delicious dinner on the. table. The
third man had married an Irish girl. He boasted that he told her his
house was to be cleaned, the dishes washed, the cooking done and the
laundry washed. And this was all entirely her responsibility. He said
the first day he didn't see anything and the second day he didn't see
anything, but by the third day some of the swelling had gone down so he
could see a little out of his left eye!
