Mississippi Women – Joke

I have my kickboxing class tonight, and decided that would be a great reason to post this joke that someone emailed to me years ago.

Take it from this Mississippi Woman — it’s funny. If you’re from Pennsylvania or Ohio, please don’t be insulted — it’s just a joke.

Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had set their new wives straight on their duties.

The first man had married a woman from Pennsylvania. He bragged that he had told his wife she was going to do all the dishes and house cleaning that needed to be done at their house. He said that it took a couple of days but on the third day he came home to a clean house and the dishes were all washed and put away.

The second man had married a woman from Ohio. He bragged that he had given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes, and the cooking. He told them that the first day he didn’t see any results, but the next day it was better. By the third day, his house was clean, the dishes were done, and he had a huge dinner on the table.

The third man had married a woman from Mississippi. He boasted that he told her his house was to be cleaned, dishes washed, the cooking done and laundry washed. And this was all her responsibility. He said the first day he didn’t see anything and the second day he didn’t see anything. But by the third day, some of the swelling had gone down so he could see a little out of his left eye.

My favorite Mississippi Woman (besides those in my family, of course), is writer Eudora Welty. The house she lived and died in is in Jackson, MS — just blocks from my family’s home. Thanks to her niece, the beautiful grounds are now home to a museum and garden, both open to the public. I have yet to go there since I visit Mississippi over the Thanksgiving holiday and the museum is closed. But it is on my list of things to see, for sure.

(That’s Eudora Welty with William Faulkner, by the way. He’s my all time favorite author.)
