My wife received a salary increase at her work.
Where does she work?
At the accounting firm across town.
Is that by the restaurant with the clown?
What does your wife do?
I haven't a clue!
Why would that be?
She is free.
What do you mean?
She stays home to clean.
We had to hire a cleaning lady.
Did you hire O'Grady?
Yep, but we eat out every night.
Our homemade meals are a delight.
My wife stopped cooking when she started her position.
Before we were married, my wife was a dietitian.
Why doesn't she work out side the home?
Because, she stays home.
