A man and a woman got married, and he told her: "Since you are my wife you should respect my traditions and habits... and I have 3 traditions.
So, first tradition: on Wednesdays I play football with my friends... no matter what.. whether it snows or it rains... I dont care.. I play football!! Is it clear for you?" - husband asks his wife.
"Yes, sure," - she answers.
"So, the second tradition... On Fridays I play poker with my friends, no matter what, I play poker!!
Is it clear for you?" - he asks.
"Yes, sure," - she answers.
"The third tradition... On Sundays I go fishing, no matter what, I go fishing...whether it snows or it rains... I go fishing!!!
Is it clear for you?" - he asks.
"Yes, sure," - she answers.
"Any objections?" - he asks.
"No, I understand," - his wife answers.
"Maybe you have your own traditions?" - he asks.
She thought for a while and said: "Well, I have, but only one... every night at 10p.m. I have sex... whether I have my husband beside me, or I dont have ... I don’t care.. I have sex!!!"
