The Pants

Mike was engaged to be married, so his Father sat him down for a little father-son chat.

He said, "Mike, let me tell you something. On my wedding night, in our honeymoon suite, I took off my pants, handed them to your Mother, and said, 'Here, try these on.' She did and said, 'These are too big. I can't wear them.' I replied, 'Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will.' Ever since that night, we have never had any problems."

"Hmmm," said Mike thoughtfully.

He decided that it might be a good thing to try, so on his honeymoon, Mike took off his pants and said to his bride, Karen, "Here, try these on." She tried them on and said, "These are too large. I can't wear these, they don't fit."

Mike said, "Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will. I don't want you to ever forget that."

Then Karen took off her panties, handed them to Mike and said, "Here, you try on these."

Mike looked at them and said, "I can't get into your panties.

Karen said, "Exactly. And if you don't change your smart-ass attitude, mister, you never will!"
