Doubtful Joke of the Day

From our correspondent in the People's Republic of Vermont:
Someone once asked me, "What is your job?"
I replied: "I am my wife's sexual advisor."
Somewhat shocked, they said "I beg your pardon, but what do you mean by that?"
"Very simple. My wife has told me that when she wants my f***ing advice, she'll ask for it."
