Ladies United
The first
speaker, a lady from England stood up and said, "During last years' conference we
spoke about being more assertive with our husbands. Well, after the conference I went home
and told my husband Barrington, that I would no longer cook for him and that he would have
to do it himself! After the first day, I saw nothing. After the second day, I saw nothing.
But on the third day, I saw that he had cooked a wonderful roast lamb." The crowd
cheered.
The second speaker, a lady from Russia stood up and said, "After last years'
conference I went home and told my husband, Ivan, that I would no longer do his laundry

second day, I saw nothing. But on the third day, I saw that he had done not only his own
washing, but my washing as well!! The crowd again cheered.
