How To Preserve A Husband - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 husband
patience
love
kisses
charity
devotion

Preparation

Be careful in selecting.
Do not choose one too young.
When selected, give your entire thoughts to preparation for domestic use.
Some wives insist on keeping them in a pickle; others are constantly getting them into hot water.
This may make them sour, hard and sometimes bitter.
Even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender and good by garnishing them with patience, well sweetened with love and seasoned with kisses.
Wrap them in a mantle of charity.
Keep warm with a steady fire of domestic devotion and serve with peaches and cream.
Thus prepared, they will keep for years.
