An elderly couple was making up after a fight.

“Honey, I’m so sorry that I let out my anger at you so often,” the wife said. “How do you manage to stay so calm with my foul moods?”

“Well,” said the husband, looking up from his newspaper, “I always go and clean the toilet when that happens.”

“And that helps?” she asked, surprised.

“Yes,” he said. “Because I’m using your toothbrush.”
