A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart.
The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.
'What do you think you're doing?' asks the wife.
They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans, he replies.
Put them back, we can't afford them, demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping. A few aisles further on along the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.
What do you think you're doing? asks the husband.
Its my face cream. It makes me look beautiful replies the wife.
Her husband retorts:
'So does 24 cans of Budweiser and its half the price.'
On the PA system:
'Cleanup needed on aisle 25, we have a husband down!'

Why does it have to be husband down?? Any man said that to me would be out for the count, but not really. That beer is only good for a weekend at my house...the face cream would last several months...put that in your grocery cart
I have to hold up to my end not using foul language any more but I'm confident you can figure out what I'd call you.
What ever happened to the good old creative days of yester-year....buy the case of beer on sale and then put the empty shopping bag over her head {get the paper bags- it is acceptable to double up if the girl is from Dundalk; the plastic bags are too translucent}. Worked for me during my undergraduate years.
11:29, I'm sure the girls were glad to have their visibility reduced as well.
12:07. Have I hit a nerve, hon'? I was nice enough to cut a few holes in the bag and turn up the stereo for you though.
Thanks for holding up your end of the bargain on the language, Joe, but I look good with or without the beer, Thanks very much. Not my opinion, just facts as stated to me by many people who know me-men and women. I'm not trying to B---- or be one, but really, where's Mr. Bobby's common courtesy. I realize it was a joke, and I've read it before somewhere else. I just think if you're out shopping with anyone and they said that to me, I'd react the same way, so why is it "husband" down, could be boyfriend, annoying in-law, brother, etc. MAN DOWN, or the little guy all over Comedy Central nowadays-PIMP DOWN!! LOL-it's all in good fun.
Imagine if it was reversed in some way and it was titled, Wife Down! It's OK in society today to say Husband Down and no one says anything about a woman beating the man and attacking someone that way, eh? The point is, it's a joke. If you want to get critical about it, then consider women getting beat up by men, if you can understand my meaning. It wouldn't be right wither way but it is funny.
Now on your way home, go out and buy a case of beer and tell your husband, boyfriend, brother in law or even life partner for that matter and tell them that you're sorry. ;-)
1:45. Let me also pass on this little tidbit of wisdom to you while you are checking your lipstick in the mirror (BTW..did you ask it if YOU were the fairest of them all?). Many men, and women, have been known to tell other people that they ARE SO SO hot when they are trying to get a little booty at the local watering hole after a few {six} Patron shots.....and then the sun rises the next day and they realize they have really woken up with Estelle Costanza.
Why Husband down? here-:)
You're right about the domestic abuse, it's not funny. I've seen that stuff and even been a victim of it once, not funny at all.
But if it was the other way around in the joke, it'd be B**** Down, which is also very amusing.
You can look this up, but I think the FCC allows the actual B-word, so it's not a curse word at all-for everyone's sake though I'll stick to the astericks.
I thought it was one of the funniest things I had read in a long time! I actually showed it to several of my co-workers! Outside of laughing like I did, only one other comment was said (by a male)
It was...I didn't know Walmart sold beer!
Joe,
Post one in the reverse sex... and stand back!!!!
Relax, people. I get jokes.
