Quick now. What is exactly like. a Quebec
politician; always wanting a bit more than
there is in the kitty; quick to assumed anger;
deliberately misunderstanding feelers of
amiability; vaguely threatening separation;
charming one minute, abrasive the next? Give
- up? I thought everyone would get 100 per cent
on that.
Answer: A wife. Sometimes, although not '
often, I wish I had been married three or four
times. Not becuase I am a sex fiend, or
because I want a change of cooks every few
yQ111-:-1, or -because 1 don't like the way my sockS
disappear in the dryer. No. Just to find out if
other men's wives are as crazy as mine.
• Back in the good old days before women's
lib, men just heaved a universal, brotherly
sigh, and groaned: "Women..," Everybody
-.- who counted (all adult males and small boys),
knew -exactly what was meant by the big shrug.
....that accompanied this ambiguous two-syllable
Air lament.
Even the women kneW what it meant, 'and
0. smirked-slyly, tacitly admitting they had us by
the short and curly,. and there wasn't a dank;'
thing we could do about it except endure.
Nowadays, if you get some guy in a dark
cormr in bar, and try to tell him your wife is
crazy, he's probably so house'-trained that
he'll, look at you in horror, glance nervously
over his shoulder, and blurt: "Oh, no!
Perhaps a little volatile, a trifle mercurial, but
Vat's all." Then, casting a swift glance
'around, he might whisper: "No crazier than
the' ea, which is also affected by the moon."
Qfh re's no comfort in people like that. He's
thelLy. c who probably scrubs the kitchen floor
eve 3/. Saturday morning;delivei•s his kids to -
their`' music ler son. and • mows the lawn
himself, even though he knows these are 'a
wife's prerogatives and privileges. -
',don't for one minute suggest that my wife
is crazier than other wives. I couldn't- in all
hotiesty , and•withOtit prejudice. I've seen some
pretty crazy, wives' in my day. Out 1 think I'd
put somemoney her if it Om to a contest.
And. I'm a cautions: ' or.
Perhaps the only way I can describe her is in
sports' terms. She is like a boxer with a long
left jab that keeps you off balance,,and a, mean
right hook that can come in out of left field at
any time. i trust I am being obscure.
Obscurity is what I have need of,,when this
appears in print.
, It's not that we don't get along. We get
along and along and along. Thirty years is a
long time to be married to a strange woman.•
PerhaPs it's the fault of The Lord. He made
man in His own image: decent, upright,

A wife is like a Quebec politician
honorable, straight forward, sense of humor-. I
can just hear Him saying; "A poor, forked,
naked" thing, but Mine own.."
Then His sense of humor got out of hand.
He took one of Adam's ribs (note it was not a
tooth or an. ear or a toe) and made Woman,.
Notice the connection. A rib is both concave -
and convex, just like a dame. IMagine what
women would look like if He had taken a toe.
But He wasn't satisfied with condemning
men to heart attacks, because they were
missing a rib, and things are inclined to cave
in on a chap, I can -almost hear Him giggling
.as He took, not one of Adam's regular,
run-of-the-mill ribs, but his crazy rib.
This-was the rib-that Adam couldn't seem to
• control, Sometimes it made him pant
breathlessly. Sometimes it grew a sharp end,
punched him in the guts and gave him an
ulcer. Sometimes it seemed to float, and when
he put out his hand to grasp it, it wasn't there.
..Sometimes it sang the sweetest of songs, all
by itself. At others, 'it.gave him a pain in the
arm.
Well, that's what my old lady is like. I don't
know about yours, but I suspect.
We head out to a party with friends, and she
tells me I have the most beautiful blue eyes in
the world, 'after Paul Newman. I tell her she
looks pretty good, too. Five hours later, after I
have delivered an extremely lucid lecture on
sex after death, polygamy among penguins, or
the iniquity of high school principals, she tells
me that I am a rotten father, husband, and
grandfather, that she's sick of hearing me
click my "partial lower. plate," and that my
eyes look like those of an alligator crossed
with a sleepy parrot.
We used to go to church on Sunday
Morning, and have our sins washed away, or
at least slightly rinsed. Nowadays, we have as
Revival Meeting on Sunday mornings. From a.
long list,. meticulously hidden in that floating
rib, she produces sins of omission and
commission . that make me a combination of
Attila the Hun and Henry Ahe Eighth, with a
little dash of Richard Nixon thrown in.
Absolutely adamant, she says: "And not
another nickel to that daughter of yours." Two
days later, she sends her a cheque for $200 to
pay thc,ever-behind rent. I've slipped the kid
only a lOusy hundred.
Then she rages: "And no way are those
boys going to come and destroy the house!'
Just look at that - you name it, they've done
Three hours later, on the phone: "Of
course, darling,. we'll take the boys for two
'weeks while you sort out your psyche."
Women is- crazy.
