Apparently, A Wife Is A Panacea

I was complaining to my father about being sick and having a sore shoulder all week, and in his always-makes-whatever-he-says-funnier Israeli accent he goes, "That's why you need a wife!" So I sarcastically replied, "Sure, because a wife would make those things much better." To which he responded with, "No. She gonna be such a pain in the ass that you not gonna even feel these things! Ha-HA!"
