I learnt a new word yesterday down at the library where I volunteers. Uxorious. It means henpecked or a husband letting his wife get the best of him. I may never use that word talking to folks but it does make me think of Jasper and Juvena Montview what lives right across the lake from me and Dorothy. Juvena are a large kind of woman and Jasper are a smallish man. And it are known that Juvena takes ever advantage of that size difference. Jasper have been seen at the hospital emergency room more than a few times with bruises all over him. He always claims he fell down. Peoples around here calls them Jiggs and Maggie. Y'all might not know this if you's too young or lives across the ocean from the U.S., but used to be a funny paper thing name of Jiggs and Maggie where Jiggs were a uxorious man and Maggie were always giving him what for. I reckon the only thing I can carry away from all this is when a man marries a woman what are big enough to beat him up, he better be real sure she is of a kind and gentle nature. And to be fair the same should be done by womens when they is figuring out who to marry.
