Just a couple of my favorites and responses I've gotten from some friends:
"... Try to encourage the children to be quiet."
aka "Shut the (bad word) up or you'll be grounded for life mister!"
"Your goal: Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and tranquility where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit."
Huh? What am I ... a church?
"Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night."
Good idea instead - find out who he's spending the night with and get hold of your attorney to file those divorce papers in the morning, sweetheart!
"Arrange his pillow ..."
... over his face so he can't breathe and continue to "arrange" said pillow until he stops squirming and turns blue.
"A good wife always knows her place."
Which is probably living in a different state or even country.
Not that I agree with some of these (mostly because they would create a long prison sentence), but the article does seem a bit "one sided" and biased against women (just a tad).

Actually, this article pretty accurately describes how most Vietnamese wives act towards their Western expatriate husbands.
But here his the part they left out:
-Make sure your husband won't have enough money for lunch so he will have to eat whatever you have prepared for dinner.
-Your husband sees lots of beautiful women all day. Grill him at 2:00 AM if he says something about a new woman who was hired recently.
-The level of your romance will result in certain privileges. A wild night of whoopee will mean you can have all his money for the next week.
There are plenty more.
Welcome to Vietnam, where it's been 1955 since 1994.

If a man loses pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music in which he hears, however measured, or far away...
