Who Is More Talented?

Last summer, while attending a Marriage Seminar on Relationships, the speaker asked, “Who is more talented, the husband or the wife?” I thought to myself, “This is a loaded question.” A lady then broke the ice by saying, “It’s quite obvious that a wife is generally more talented than a husband; considering that a wife practices as a lay physician, nurse, administrator, teacher, designer/decorator, cook, janitor and lover; to mention a few.”

Another lady added, “A wife is not only more talented, she also does effectively multi-task; considering that while beating eggs for breakfast in the kitchen, she could have a phone comfortably secured between her shoulder and ear chatting away with a friend, eavesdropping on her husband’s phone conversation in the living room, and still making sure the children are getting dressed and be down for breakfast.

And when a man volunteered to contribute, I heaved what turned out to be a short-lived sigh of relief. He started by saying, “To start with, a wife is more historical than her husband.” But when the speaker immediately cut in to correct, "You mean hysterical." The man insisted, "No, I mean HISTORICAL. Every argument you have, she'll go, I still remember that time when you did this and did that."

The man continued, “And whatever you give a wife, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be prepared to receive a lorry load of shit.”
