A fellow was watching the big game and his wife came in the room.
"Honey, the light in the hall just went out. Can you fix it?"
He snapped back, "I'm watching the game ! Do I have Mr. Fix-it on my shirt .I need a beer. Get me one."
She left quietly, coming back with the beer in a few minutes." Honey, the fridge is making a real loud noise. I think something is caught in the cooling fan."
He looked disgusted,and said," Do I have Maytag on my shirt?", and went back to watching the game.
She went outside to sulk, coming back and saying, Honey, when I went out front, the top step broke, I almost fell. Can you fix it before someone gets hurt?" He jumped up and yelled," For Christ's sake, Do I have Bob Villa on my shirt !!! I'm going to the bar to watch the game."
After the game was over he realized what a jerk he had been, so he went home to apologies and fix some things. Coming home he saw the top step had been replaced. He entered the house and saw the hallway brightly lit. The fridge in the kitchen was humming quietly. His wife came in to say hello. He asked, "Who fixed all the things? She told him that when he stormed out she was so upset that she went out and sat on the stoop crying. The old man next door came over to see if she was all right. She told him about the fight and he said, " Don't worry, I'm good with tools. I'll fix it." The husband said that was nice of him,and asked if he should pay him something. "No ,said the wife, When I asked what I owed him he just laughed and said that 40 years ago he would have asked for sex, but now a home baked cake would do just as well." The husband asked what kind she baked? She replied," Do I have Paula Dean on my shirt!!"
