Mike was going to get married to Karen, so his father sat him down for a little chat.

He said, ‘Mike, let me tell you something. On my wedding night, in our honeymoon suite, I took off my pants, handed them to your mother and said, ‘Here – try these on.’

She did and said, ‘These are too big; I can’t wear them.’

I replied, ‘Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will.’ Ever since that night we never had any problems.

Hmmm,’ said Mike. He thought that might be a good thing to try.

On his honeymoon, Mike took off his pants and said to Karen, ‘Here – try these on.’

She tried them on and said, ‘These are too large. They don’t fit me.’

Mike said, ‘Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will. I don’t want you to ever forget that.’

Then Karen took off her pants and handed them to Mike. She said, ‘Here – you try on mine.’

He did and said, ‘I can’t get into your pants.’

Karen said, “Exactly, remember that”!
