For Husbands

For Husbands.

I promise to pay all bills without kicking up a fuss—except those necessitating an expenditure of money.

I will never play golf instead of digging the garden—unless I would rather play golf than dig the garden.

I will always go shopping with the wife—if I can't get out of it.

I will smoke no more cigarettes than I can, and will spend no more money than I have got.

I will never deceive my wife—I know I can't, anyway.

I will never kick the cat when enraged (we haven't got a cat).

I will work hard every day—except Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, etc.

Never Say Dry” Or “The Spirit Of '34”

I will be cheerful at breakfast—God willing.

I will never back racehorses—unless they are running in races.

I will be a good husband—within reason.
