retorts required

Ladies,
a guy friend of mine has just sent me (in jest) an email quoting the good wives guide from the 1950's.
Can anyone think of any good retorts for a good mans guide?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.A good man will be respectful to his wife at all times. When accompanying her in the street he will walk closest to the traffic so as not to cause her distress. He will be clean shaven, and not partake of any tobacco in her presence.He will above all attend church and be a good father to his children.
because I work for a large compan, I get loads of humerous emails, and tend to keep the ones I think are classy, this one I sent out about two months ago, so you may just have my real name on the recipents list, not saying though, however, I believe also, I have what your looking for, i'll have a check, and if there is, i'll come back.
here you are Chuff, in bits nd pieces, its as close as I can find, just to help you redress the ballance a bit. This'll probably take three or four posts. get your pen and paper handy.

or, when your wife gets in from work and you know its that time of the month and she's feeling a bit fragile, remember she has had a hard day.Although the big match is on, you will have a three course meal waiting for her, and tell her that you have taped the jeremy kyle show from that morning to watch together, snuggled on the sofa while you give her a foot massage.Afterwards..well , wont go into that!
