The Marriage Software

This is what a guy wrote to our systems analyst.

(Marriage Software Division):



Dear Systems Analyst,



I am desperate for some help! I recently upgraded my program from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and found that the new program began unexpected Child Processing and also took up a lot of space and valuable resources.



This wasn't mentioned in the product brochure. In addition Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs

and launches during systems initialization and then it monitors all other system activities.



Applications such as 'Boys' Night out 2.5' and 'Golf 5.3' no longer run, and crashes the system whenever selected. Attempting to operate selected 'Saturday Football 6.3' always fails and 'Saturday Shopping 7.1' runs instead.

I cannot seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background whilst attempting to run any of my favorite applications. Be it online or offline.



I am thinking of going back to 'Girlfriend 7.0', but uninstall doesn't work on this program. Can you please help?





AND THIS IS WHAT OUR ANALYST SAID:

Dear Customer,



This is a very common problem resulting from a basic misunderstanding of the functions of the Wife 1.0 program. Many customers upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 thinking that Wife 1.0 is merely a UTILITY AND ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAM. Actually, Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM designed by its Creator to run everything on your current platform.



You are unlikely to be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0, as Wife 1.0 was not designed to do this and it is impossible to uninstall, delete or purge the program files from the System once it is installed.



Some people have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but have ended up with even more problems. (See manual under Alimony/Child Support and Solicitors' Fees).



Having Wife 1.0 installed, I recommend you keep it Installed and deal with the difficulties as best as you can. When any faults or problems occur, whatever you think has caused them, you must run the,

C:\ APOLOGIZE\ FORGIVE ME.EXE Program and avoid attempting to use the *Esc-Key for it will freeze the entire system.



It may be necessary to run C:\ APOLOGIZE\ FORGIVE ME.EXE a number of times, and eventually hope that the operating system will return to normal.



Wife 1.0, although a very high maintenance program, can be very rewarding.

To get the most out of it, consider buying additional Software such as 'Flowers 2.0' and 'Chocolates 5.0' or 'HUGS\ KISSES 600.0' or 'TENDERNESS\ UNDERSTANDING 1000.0' or even Eating Out Without the Kids 7.2.1' (if Child processing has already started).



DO NOT under any circumstances install 'Secretary 2.1” (Short Skirt Version)

or 'One Nightstand 3.2' (Any Mood Version), as this is not a supported Application for Wife 1.0 and the system will almost certainly CRASH.

BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What women want...

Young Oba Akenzua was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a

neighbouring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him, but was moved by

Akenzua’s youthful happiness. So he offered him freedom, as long as he

could answer a very difficult question.



Akenzua would have a year to figure out the answer; if, after a year, he

still had no answer, he would be killed. The question was: What do women

really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable

man, and, to young Akenzua, it seemed an impossible query. Well, since

it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an

answer by year's end.



Quest



He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everybody: the princess, the

poms, the priests, the wise men, the court jester. In all, he spoke with

everyone but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. What most

people did tell him was to consult the old witch, as only she would know

the answer. The price would be high, since the witch was famous

throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.



The witch



The last day of the year arrived and Akenzua had no alternative but to

talk to the witch. She agreed to answer his question, but he'd have to

accept her price first: The old witch wanted to marry Omorogbe, the most

handsome of the chiefs and Akenzua’s closest friend!



Young Akenzua was horrified: she was hunchbacked and awfully hideous, had

only one tooth, smelled like sewage water, often made obscene noises...He

had never run across such a repugnant creature. He refused to force his

friend to marry her and have to endure such a burden. Omorogbe, upon

learning of the proposal, spoke with Akenzua. He told him that nothing

was too big of a sacrifice compared to Akenzua’s life and the preservation

of the Round Table. Hence, their wedding was proclaimed, and the witch

answered Akenzua’s question:



What a woman really wants is to be able to be in charge of her own life.

Everyone instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that

Akenzua’s life would be spared. And so it went. The neighbouring monarch

spared Akenzua’s life and granted him total freedom.



Wedding



What a wedding Omorogbe and the witch had! Akenzua was torn between relief

and anguish. Omorogbe was proper as always, gentle and courteous. The old

witch put her worst manners on display. She ate with her hands, belched

and farted, and made everyone uncomfortable. The wedding night

approached:



Omorogbe, steeling himself for a horrific night, entered the bedroom.

What a sight awaited! The most beautiful woman he'd ever seen lay before

him! Omorogbe was astounded and asked what had happened. The beauty

replied that since he had been so kind to her (when she'd been a witch),

half the time she would be her horrible, deformed self, and the other

half, she would be her beautiful maiden self.



Question



Which would he want her to be during the day and which during the night?

What a cruel question? Omorogbe began to think of his predicament: During

the day a beautiful woman to show off to his friend, but at night, in the

privacy of his home, an old spooky witch? Or would he prefer having by day

a hideous witch, but by night a beautiful woman to enjoy many intimate

moments?



What would you do? What Omorogbe chose follows below, but don't read until

you've made your own choice.



Answer

Noble Omorogbe replied that he would let her choose for herself. Upon

hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time,

because he had respected her and had let her be in charge of her own life.





What is the moral of this story?

THE MORAL IS THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR WOMAN IS PRETTY OR UGLY,

UNDERNEATH IT ALL, SHE'S STILL THE ANGEL. THE WITCH IN HER WILL ONLY COME OUT IF PROVOKED. MEN LOVE AND RESPECT UR WOMEN, U WILL BE PLEASED
