Not your average fairytale
Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat, contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.
The frog hops into the princess’s lap and says: “Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young prince that I am and then, my sweet, we can marry and setup housekeeping in your castle with my mother, where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so.”
That night, as the princess dined sumptuously on a repast of lightly sauteed frog legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckles to herself and thought: “I don’t think so.”
Role reversal
Husband: Shall we try something different tonight?
Wife: That’s a good idea. Why don’t you stand by the sink and do the dishes, and I’ll sit on the sofa and watch TV?

A psychiatrist is pleased to convey his final diagnosis to a female patient, “You know, in this profession we rarely use the word cure, but after ten years of therapy it is my pleasure to pronounce you one hundred percent cured.”
To his surprise, the woman appears to be very unhappy.
“What’s wrong,” the doctor asks, “This is a triumph for both of us. I thought you’d be thrilled.”
“Well, it’s fine for you,” she says sadly, “But look at it from my perspective. Ten years ago, I was Joan of Arc. Now I’m nobody.”
