Don't have much time...

Very quickly, I just have to tell this story.

I was listening to the radio, and hit the button for the Christian station to see what was there. A preacher was just starting his sermon. Here's how he started it:

"There were three newlywed men. They all decided that they were going to rule their new households. The first guy told his new wife, a pretty girl from Georgia, that she would be expected to have the dishes cleaned and put away by the time he got home from work. The first and second days, he did not see much improvement because she was still getting the hang of things, but by the third day, she had it down and the dishes were finished just like he'd asked.

The second guy had a wife from Oklahoma. He told her he wanted the dishes cleaned and put away, but also that he wanted dinner to be on the table by the time he got home from work. Like the first guy, he didn't see anything the first and second days, but by the third day, his wife had the dishes cleaned and dinner ready on the table.

The third guy took everything a step further. He married a Jersey girl, and told her he wanted the dishes cleaned and put away, every meal he ate at home would be hot and on the table when he walked in, and any time the lawn needed mowing, it would be done by the time he got home from work. Things went just like you might expect: the first day, he didn't see anything, the second day, he didn't see anything, but by the third day, the swelling had gone down a little and he was finally able to find the dirty dishes himself.

The preacher went on and somehow tied it into his sermon but I have no idea what the connection was because Stave and I were laughing so hard.

Ok that's all. I have to run, we move out officially tomorrow. Bye.
