Three men were traveling in Europe and happened to meet at a bar in London.  One man was from the US, one from France and one from Canada.  They got acquainted and started talking about their problems with their wives.

The American began by saying:

"I told my wife in no uncertain terms that from now on she would have to do all the cooking.  Well the first day after I told her, I saw nothing.  The second day I saw nothing.  But on the third day when I came home from work, the table was set; a wonderful dinner was prepared with wine and even dessert."

Then the man from France spoke up:

"I sat my wife down and told her that from now on she would have to do all the shopping, and also all the cleaning.  The first day I saw nothing.  The second day I saw nothing. But on the third day when I came home, the whole house was spotless, and in the pantry the shelves were filled with groceries.

The fellow from Canada sat up straight on the bar stool, pushed out his chest and said: :I gave my wife a stern look and told her that from now on she would have to do all the cooking, the shopping and the house cleaning.

Well the first day I saw nothing.  The second day I still saw nothing.  But on the third day, I began to see a little bit out of my left eye."
