A man tells this story to a friend:
For my 66th birthday, I got a gift certificate from my wife. The certificate paid for a visit to a medicine man living on a nearby reservation who was rumoured to have a wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction.
After being persuaded, I drove to the reservation, handed my ticket to the medicine man and wondered what would happen next.
A man calls home to his wife and says, "Darling , I've been asked to go fishing up in Canada with my boss and several of his friends. We'll be gone for a week. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting, so could you please pack enough clothes for a week, and set out my rod and fishing box? We're leaving from the office, I'll swing by the house to pick up my things on the way to the airport. Oh! And please pack my new blue silk pyjamas." 
A man with 6 kids in tow boarded a plane.Susan notes: The next time you find yourself complaining about how things are, consider these interesting (albeit mostly unlikely), explanations of modern day words and expressions supposedly having their origins in aspects of life in the 1500s:
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, some people say brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide unpleasant body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married. (Unlikely and based on shaky assumptions; other says the tradition goes back much further than the 1500s, more here)
This was then - thankfully, we had instructional videos such as this one aptly entitled:
Women: Know Your Limits!
This is now - see how things have changed as women have broken out of those old role models:
