An architect, an artist and an engineer were discussing whether it was
better to spend time with a wife or a mistress.
The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid

The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because of the passion
and mystery he found there.
The engineer said, "I like both."
"Both?"
Engineer: "Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume

and get some work done."
