TGIF

One evening a Husband, thinking he was being funny, said to his wife, "Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in 'Slim Fast'. Maybe it would take a few inches off of your butt!"

His wife was not amused, and decided that she simply couldn't let such a comment go un rewarded.

The next morning the husband took a pair of underwear out of his drawer. "What the Hell is this?" he said to himself as a little "dust" cloud appeared when he shook them out.

"Sandy!", he hollered into the bathroom, "Why did you put Talcum Powder in my underwear? "
She replied with a snicker. "It's not talcum powder; it's 'Miracle Grow'!!!!!!"
