Mae West and Me

My husband fell in love with the beautiful Mae West. I knew it was because of her oversized breast. "Mae is beautiful," I retorted, "but small chested girls also like to hug." "You and Mae," he laughed, "is like comparing a Cadillac to a Volkswagen bug."

Oooh, I would have smacked him silly for that remark! (Just kidding) Sounds like your hubby has a great sense of humor and that can add a lot of zest to a marriage. Love, Carolyn
