The husband was enjoying his day off watching Sunday football, when his wife walked in.
She asked, "Hon, could you take a look at the hall light fixture? I replaced the bulb, but there's something else wrong with it."
Having missed an amazing play due to the interruption, the husband angrily replied, "Do I look like an electrician?"
A little while later, she shyly sticks her head into the living room again and says, "Hon, the fridge door is just about to fall off. I'm having a hard time closing it."
To which he replies, "Do I look like an appliance repairman?"
Near the end of the 4th quarter, she asks, "When this is over, can you take a look at the front steps? I almost fell twice this week bringing in groceries."
Again, he asks, "Do I look like a carpenter?"
When the game was over, he decides to get away from the nagging at home and goes for a long drive. With no real destination in mind, he starts to reflect on his attitude toward his wife. Guilt starts to overcome him, so after some time he heads home to apologize.
As he walks up to the front door, he can see the front steps are repaired. Amazed, he then notices the hall light is on. He guessed his wife wasn't as helpless as she pretended. Finally, as he went to the kitchen for a beer, he saw that the fridge door was also fixed.
He headed to the living room, and his wife walked in. He asked her, "So all those things you needed done, you could have done them yourself?"
She said, "Oh, no. I was so upset at the way you treated me, all I could do was cry. I was crying on the front steps trying to think what to do, and one of the neighbors' asked me what was wrong. When I explained all the chores around the house you refused to do, he said, "Well, don't cry. I can take care of that stuff for you, but it won't be free."
She asked what he'd charge, and he said, "I know money's tight for most folks, so I'll do it if you make a cake for my daughter's birthday. I'll accept that, or you can sleep with me."
The husband said, "You made him a cake, I hope."
She smiled and said, "Do I look like a baker?"
