One evening, after a bitter marital spat, the wife heard her husband sigh, “Oh, if only women would be as understanding as men, life would be truly wonderful.” Angry, she prepared a tough old rooster, with meat as tough as leather, as dinner for her husband. The husband managed to eat the meal without complaining, not wanting to start another fight. The following day, however, she boiled for dinner a well tendered, juicy young hen, which her surprised husband enjoyed immensely. “I did that for a reason,” said his wife. “This proves that the female is better than the male.” “I suppose you’re right,” the husband replied, “but only after she’s been tenderized a few hours.”
