Finally, the mug that solves an ancient riddle:

Why do men die before their wives? 

Answer:  They want to.

 Alan Jackson's song lyrics come pretty close to to the daily challenge faced by men:

If you want to make a married woman laugh, give her one of our mugs.  She knows these lyrics ring true, but just can't help herself. 

O.K, I forgot about the trash

Didn’t trim the long hairs from my mustache

 I didn’t buy you a ring…I believe it was back in ‘93

All right, I admit I forgot our anniversary

I did pick up the baby this morning at the nursery

That ain’t no big thing…but it’s a gold star for me.

I know you meant well when you bought me those clogs

But my heels get hot down by the muffler on my Hog

I’m sure they’re stylish, but I’ll take my boots,

And I try to do that health thing like you want me to do

That low-fat and no-fat’s getting harder to chew

Now I love your cooking honey

But sometimes I need some real food

You get tired and disgusted with me

But I can’t be just who you want me to be

I still love ya and I try real hard

I swear one day you’ll have a brand new car

I even asked the Lord to try and help me

He looked down from Heaven, said to tell you please

Just be patient I’m a work in progress
