Now We Know....At Last

[Jim_Alaska]

The Aisle, the Altar, the Hymn

 

Through the ages, men have been trying to unlock this mystery:

 

 

Why do their wives, who accept them just as they are before they get

married, begin the quest to change their behavior and life-style once

their vows are exchanged?

 

 

Finally, the riddle is solved.

 

 

A social-scientist has arrived at this simple and logical explanation.

When the bride, accompanied by her father, starts to walk slowly down

the long aisle, she sees the altar at the end and hears the choir

singing a hymn. Walking down the aisle, the conditioning process starts

where the brain absorbs these three stimuli:

 

 

Aisle, altar, and hymn.

 

 

She becomes mesmerized as she continually reinforces these

perceptions:

 

 

Aisle, altar, hymn..Aisle, altar, hymn..Aisle, altar, hymn.

 

 

And finally, as she stops beside the groom, the conditioning process is

complete. She looks up at him smiling sweetly and keeps saying to herself:

 

I'll alter him!

 

HERE ENDETH THE LESSON

I thought it might because they heard the old Minnie Pearl song, "How to Catch a Man"

Now when a handsome feller smiles at you
What harm can a little flirting do?
And if he steals a kiss, why don't be sore
Remember girl, you've got plenty more.

How to catch a man, how to catch a man,
Girls are always asking me, "How do you catch a man?"
Catch him while you can with a Minnie Pearl plan
Here's a little tip on how to catch a man.

Hogtie him.

Tell him this and keep a straight face hun.
Tell him two can live a cheap as one
Promise him anything and you will find
That after you're married you can change your mind.

How to catch a man, how to catch a man,
Girls are always asking me, "How do you catch a man?"
Catch him while you can with a Minnie Pearl plan
Here's a little tip on how to catch a man.

Get a bear trap.
