Ask any man what a woman's ultimate fantasy is and they will tell you: to have two men at once.Ain't THAT the truth?
According to a recent sociological study this is actually true for most women.
Most men, however, do not realize that, in this fantasy, one man is cooking and the other is cleaning.

Perfect Bday Present, huh Mimi? ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes, if you like fantasies for birthday presents.
DeleteI will give you a cool million for your next birthday, JCF. :-D
Right on, Paul (A.)! You are so right on that one!
ReplyDeletePaul (A.) da bomb, ain't he, whiteycat?
DeleteAs my wife is all but crippled by rheumatoid arthritis I already do all of the cooking and cleaning, so I just had to ask Mrs o'Sagan what her extra man would deal with.
ReplyDeleteApparently, the garden isn't quite as she'd like it to be.
Acolyte of Sagan, my sympathy to Mrs O'Sagan. Rheumatoid arthritis is a bitch.
DeleteGrandpère does nearly all of the cooking and all of the work in the garden, but he only cleans a little from time to time. I can't complain, but I do wish for a handyman for the fix-it chores that I can't do myself. If a handyman made his way into my fantasy life, I would not send him away.
Mrs o'Sagan thanks you for your kind words, Grandmere. RA is such an agonising and debilitating illness that 'bitch' barely does it justice, but unless one resorts to profanity (which I don't particularly object to, but there's a time and place and your charming blog isn't it) there's no better alternative.
DeleteAofS, I have osteoarthritis, which is less debilitating and takes a slower toll but still makes its presence felt. I can't say I know what it's like for your wife, but I do know the effects of RA are devastating.
DeleteGrandmere, we've long since accepted that old age and its attendant pains and ailments is still preferable to the next (and final) stage of life.

"Always look on the bright side.."
DeleteI do my best.
