Breakfast at Ed's house

(Kidding! Obviously, this is nothing like Ed's house. Ed doesn't wear ties.)

The ad above is a vintage image from the fifties, back when men were men and women knew it. Traditional values ruled, and a man could boss his wife around without feeling guilty about it. Ah. Those were the days, right guys? Damn democrats, and their crazy ideas about women being people. Well, at least we he-men still have Friday night, the one night per week when God commands us to lounge around while our wives do the serving and cleaning.

Hey, here's a related fun fact to know and tell: Marie Antoinette had to cross a river naked upon her betrothal to the crown prince to symbolize, well, work it out yourself. This was done in front of everyone - courtiers, servants, other royals, her parents - everyone. And this was also an era, of slavery and serfdom and extreme poverty and extreme hunger. You know, the good old moral days, which, alas, ended forever on August 8, 1968.
