    Whilst I'm at work, I'm the boss. Soon as I get home, I put my views in a little jar on the kitchen counter and behave myself.

    My Mrs caught me secretly ringing my fancy woman.

    "Thank God for that!" she said "I thought you was buying yet another airgun".

    Love her to bits really.

    My Dad gave me good advice many years ago.
    He said: "try and get your wife to walk a mile every morning, and a mile every afternoon. That way - after a week - she'll be 14 miles from home!!"
