Thermostat and Thermometer
IllustrationAnalogy★★★A HUSBAND’S job is to set the temperature in the home. The
woman is the thermometer. She is to give a temperature
reading. The reading of the thermometer ought to reflect the
setting of a thermostat. If a man wants a summer wife, he can’t
bring home winter weather.
