WOMEN, HUSBANDS AND PROVERBS

I have heard of late that the WOKE movement is on the wane so I have decided to venture to post this humorous entry in its wake, hoping we are getting back hold of our senses and the freedom we had before. In former times, when proverbs were invented, long ago, speakers were not afraid to express and air their humor to all and sundry to hear and enjoy. The joke was that wives were the mistresses of the home and had husbands on short leashes, and shouted and domineered them at will. To express the helplessness and mortification of husbands, this funny Latin expression was coined: Sunt tria damna domus: imber, mala femina, fumus, which seeped into Spanish and English as: Tres cosas echan a un hombre de la casa fuera: el humo, la gotera y la mujer vocinglera, Three things drive a man out of his house: smoke, rain, and a scolding wife.
