Psychiatrist

SELF-ESTEEM

A mild-mannered man was tired of being bossed around by his wife; so he went to a psychiatrist.  The psychiatrist said he needed to build his self esteem and so gave him a book on assertiveness, which he read on the way home.  He finished the book by the time he reached his house and decided to put it into practice.

The man stormed into the house and walked up to his wife.  Pointing a finger in her face, he said, “From now on, I want you to know that I am the man of this house, and my word is law!  I want you to get into the kitchen and prepare me a hot gourmet meal, and when I’m finished eating my meal, I want a sumptuous dessert afterward. 

Then, after dinner, your are going to draw me my bath so I can relax.  And when I am finished with my bath, guess who’s going to dress me and comb my hair? 

“The funeral director,” said his wife.
