Letter of the day

How can I not post this letter published in Dawn today? It starts off with this blunt assessment:

ALL over the world men wish to find the perfect wife. Of course, women, too, desire to have the ideal husband but men are usually the ones who have more money, so it is easier for them to get the partners of their choice.

It also contains this beauty:

A good wife is heaven's best gift to man, his gem of many virtues, his casket of jewels; her voice is sweet music, her smiles his brightest lay, her kiss the guardian of his innocence, her arms the pale of his safety, her industry his surest wealth, her lips his faithful counsellors, her bosom the softest pillow of the cares.

There's a dirty joke somewhere in there but I'm not funny enough to find it.
