Marriage is Just Legal Prostitution Anyway.

Him: You ironed my cargo pants. Huh.

Me: Of course I did. If I'm going to iron, I'm going to iron everything.

Him: You didn't iron my t-shirts.

Me: No. Really? T-shirts?

Him: You said you iron everything.

Me: Everything people can see. No one sees your t-shirts.

Him: That's what you think.

Me: Well, everyone that does see them is going to just crumple them up in a ball and throw them on the floor anyway.

Him: All the more reason to have them ironed.

Me: Maybe you could work that into your fee structure.

(Awkward pause)

Me: $1 a ride and ironing. That's a fair charge, wouldn't you say?

Him: Honey, the only person I pay for sex is you.

Me: Game, set, match.

So what is the going rate? I just wanna make sure I am not selling myself short here.

Especially seeing I don't know where that iron thingy is...

Well. I don't iron, and haven't had any reason to charge for services, as I am currently without anyone who WANTS those services. Therefore, I am so...well, I was going to say screwed, but.... :)

My husband keeps commenting that he pays me well. Um, really? But the thing is, if we were keeping score (heh, score) of who does what, I'd probably owe back pay (heh, back pay) and have to give HIM the raise (heh, raise). And I just realized how dirty my mind is to come up with three puns in one sentence. Awesome.

I had to wager a "blowie" in order to get my new car (mini-van, mind you)...I gave him a leaf blower and reminded him that married women give that up on their wedding day...that's why we are all smiles!

My iron hisses at me when I turn it on, as in, "How dare you! I've been resting all these months and now you want me to get hot and bothered". Kind of like what my vagina used to say back when I was single.

Just found your site! Good stuff!
I HATE ironing...
I always have, and when my husband comes out of the bedroom after showering and getting dressed and inquires "does this look wrinkled?", I know what I'm going to answer BEFORE I even take a peek...
"NO! It's fine!!"
(I learned many years ago that any other answer spells a quick trip to the ironing board.... which I think I may have already mentioned, I HATE!!)

- Sadly enough, I actually like ironing. I just hate hanging the stuff up and putting it away after.

I don't iron. At all. Ever.

My husband has a huge problem with this. The other day he actually said, "My mom used to iron everything. She even ironed my T-shirts."

I stg if he had said "Why can't you be more like her" I would have punched him, and I think he knew it too!
