The topic is the odds of marital bliss, circa 1947. Joe McDoaks relates what life is like being married to his wife, Alice with a handful of examples (her insensitivity to his party guests, her snoring. The best? After an argument over his wife inviting her family over for Thanksgiving, Joe's wife packs a suitcase to go home to her mother. Joe takes the turkey and stuffs it in her suitcase yelling, "AND YOU CAN GIVE HER THE BIRD FOR ME!" Absolute classic. Jane Harker, who pops up frequently in these Warners' Joe McDoaks shorts is quite a babe. She's quite a contrast to Joe's circle of dentally-challenged friends and co-workers. As a kid of the 60's it's tough reconcile George O'Hanlon's face with George Jetson's voice, but he's a enjoyable comedian and these (mostly) 40's one-reeler's are all watchable.
