Thought for the Month: “ We are going to have to cut down on our spending,” said the distressed husband.
“Well, we can start by not buying any more of your beer,” replied the irritated wife.
“How about wiping out all of your cosmetics bills?” retorted the husband.

“That,” said the husband, “is what the beer is for!”
