Since some of the questions on the wife’s test to find out if you would be a good wife in the 30’s were so funny, I figured I should follow up my last post with an examination of what kind of questions determine what makes a good or bad 30’s husband.

“A chronic ailer or patent medicine addict.”   I guess back in the 30’s, being an addict of patent medicine was horrible.

“Angry if newspaper is disarranged”.  The horror!

“Ardent lover–sees that wife has orgasm in marital congress.”  As he damn well should if he’s going to expect her to get dressed to make breakfast and not wear red nail polish.  Although he if fulfills his end, no wonder a good wife would be delighted at marital congress.

“Belches without apology or blows nose at table.”  Sexy.

“Careless in bathroom–leaves razor out or ring around tub.”  Seriously, do men pay attention to ring around the tub?

“Gives wife ample allowance or turns pay check over to her.”  I wonder what ample was in the 30’s?

“Gives wife real movie kisses not dutiful “peck” on the cheek.”  Geez, real movie kisses and orgasms every time marital congress occurs?  How scandelous!

“Kisses wife just after her make-up has been applied.”  I thought her make-up had to be applied all the time?  So she only gets real movie kisses when she’s not made up?  Isn’t that bad?  I’m so confused…!

“Rolls in bed covers–pulls them off wife.”  That bastard!

“Tries to keep wife equipped with modern labor saving devices.”  Nice!  Labor saving devices!

“Writes on tablecloth with pencil.”  I guess this was a problem once upon a time??

These were just a sampling – the ones I found most humorous.  Now if you’ll excuse me, I realize that I’m not married, but I guess this could be practice – I think I need to go down and make sure the newspaper isn’t disarranged so I can get me some real movie kisses.
