We Work Hard for the Money

A barrister, a doctor and a museum curator were discussing the relative merits of having a wife or a mistress.

The barrister says: "Certainly a mistress is better. If you have a wife and want a divorce, there are a number of complex legal problems to resolve and it will probably be very expensive."

The doctor says: "It's better to have a wife because the sense of security and wellbeing lowers your stress and your blood pressure and is good for your health."

The museum curator says: "You're both wrong. It's best to have both so that when your wife thinks you're with your mistress, and your mistress thinks you're with your wife -- you can go to the museum and accession some more objects.
