"The Good Wife's Guide" Also known as the world according to Pat Robertson

as read hilariously in the "Stephanie Miller Show". That's right ladies you too can make the man in your life happy :

The following is excerpts from a 1950's home economics textbook intended for high school girls, teaching them how to prepare for married life:


1. Have dinner ready: Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal — on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him, and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.
2. Prepare yourself: Take 15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your makeup, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.

3. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift, too.

That would set off riots if some coffee company -- or any kind of company -- ran something like that today.
