Last night I got home from a killer show about 10, got into the garage, and my wife was waiting at the top of the stairs. And I said, "Wife, I've got great news for you." She said, "Let the news wait. Can you go out and get some milk?"
I looked in the garage and it looked like my domestic help was home. I said, "What time did he get home?" She said, "8:00." I said, "Why didn't you ask him to buy the milk?" "He's tired." [...] She said, just get the milk. We need it for the morning. So like a dutiful hubby, I went out and got the milk and came back.
I banged it on the counter and I said, "I had great news for you. I've just been told that I'm going to be the closing act at an important show. And all that you want me to do is go out and get the milk, what kind of a wife are you?"
And she said to me, "Let me explain something to you. You might be the best comedian. You might be a CEO who has got talent. But when you enter this house, you're the hubby, you're the father, you're the driver, the cook, my personal slave & in charge of the washing machine. You're all of that. Nobody else can take that place. So leave that damned crown in the garage. And don't bring it into the house. You know I've never seen that crown."
