Written on the Forehead

A husband is at home watching a very exciting World Cup soccer game when his wife interrupts, "Honey, could you fix the light in the hallway? It's been flickering for weeks now."

He looks at her and says angrily; "Fix the light, now? Does it look like I have a Manweb logo printed on my forehead? I don't think so!"

The wife asks, "Well then, could you fix the fridge door? It won't close properly"

To which he replied, "Fix the fridge door? Does it look like I have Electrolux written on my forehead? I don't think so!"

"Fine" She says, "Then could you at least fix the steps at the front door? They're about to break."

"I'm not a damn carpenter and I don't want to fix steps," He says. "Does it look like I have B & Q written on my forehead? I don't think so! I've had enough of you, I'm going to the bar!" So he goes to the bar and drinks for a couple of hours.

He starts to feel guilty about how he treated his wife, and decides to go home and help out. As he walks into the house, he notices the steps are already fixed. As he enters the house, he sees the hall light is working. As he goes to get a beer, he notices the fridge door is fixed. "Honey" He asks, "How did all this get fixed?"

She said, "Well, when you left I sat outside and cried. Then a nice young man asked me what was wrong and I told him. He offered to do all the repairs and all I had to do was either, go to bed with him or bake a cake."

Her husband said, "So what kind of cake did you bake him?"

She replied, "Hellooooo......do you see Mr. Kipling written on my forehead?
I DON'T THINK SO!!"

I'm replacing "Mr Kipling" with "Sarah Lee" in my head, and now its all just right.
