Three buddies were down at the pub one night, and two of them, Bill and Joe, were arguing about the amount of control they had over their wives, while the third man, Fred, said nothing.

After a while, Bill turned to Fred and said, "Well, what about you? What sort of control have you got?"

"Well, I'll tell you," Fred replied. "Just the other night my wife came crawling to me on her hands and knees."

The other two were absolutely amazed.

"What happened then?" Joe asked.

She said, "Get out from under the bed and fight like a man!"
