A short story about Charlie..Male Chauvinist,,Or..."The Man Who Knew Too Much" or thought he did...

Charley was a male chauvinist. Even though they both worked full time, he
never helped Jenny around the house because housework was for women.


Then one evening Jenny arrived home from work to find the children bathed, a
load of clothes in the washer and another in the dryer, dinner on the stove,
and the table set. She was astonished—something's up. Turned out that Charley
had read an article that said wives who worked full-time and did all the
housework were too tired to have sex. Their evening went well and the next day she
just had to tell her office friends.


"We had a great dinner and Charley even cleaned up. He helped the kids with
their homework, folded the laundry and put everything away. What a great
evening!" "But what about afterward?" asked her friends.


"Oh, that was perfect too: Charley was too tired!"
