A husband and wife are getting all snugly in bed. Their passion is heating up. Then the wife stops and says: “I don’t feel like it, I just want you to hold me.”

The husband says: “WHAT??” The wife explains that he must not be in tune with her emotional needs as a woman. The husband realizes that nothing is going to happen and he might as well deal with it.

The next day the husband takes his wife shopping at a big department store. He walks around and has her try on three very expensive outfits. She can’t decide. He tells his wife to take all three of them. Then they go over and get matching shoes worth $200 each. Then they go to the jewelry department where she gets a set of diamond earrings.

The wife is so excited. She thinks her husband has flipped out. She goes for the tennis bracelet. The husband says: “You don’t even play tennis, but OK if you like it, then let’s get it.” The wife jumps up and down, so excited she cannot even believe what is going on. She says: “I am ready to go, let’s go to the cash register.”

The husband says: “No – no – no, Honey we’re not going to buy all this stuff.” The wife’s face goes blank. “No Honey. I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while.”

The wife gets really mad and is about to explode when the husband says: “You must not be in tune with my financial needs as a man!!!”
