Karen-Here's a joke for you. My friend from Mississippi sent it to me. It also applies to Cajun women.
Mississippi Women
Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their
new wives duties. The first man had married a Woman from Colorado and
had told her that
she was going to do dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple days,
but on the third day he came home to a clean house and dishes washed and
put away.
The second man had married a woman from Nebraska He had given his wife
orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes, and the cooking. The
first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it as
better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were
done, and there was a huge dinner on the table.
The third man had married a girl from Mississippi. He told her that her
duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed,
laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the
first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything,
but by the third day some of the swelling had gone down and he could see
a little out of his left eye, enough to fix himself a bite to eat and
load the dishwasher.
