Two questions
I have two questions.
1. I would like to know why the next writing is a joke.
2. I wonder why she insisted "I deserve more respect".
When I picked up my wife from work one afternoon, she seemed irritated. She confessed that the day hadn't gone well, and on top of everything else, a young customer had addressed her as "ma'am." "I'm not that old," she insisted. "I deserve more respect!" She vented the whole way home while hitting the scan button on the radio. Finally I asked, "What are you looking for?" She replied, "The oldies station."

Wowenglish I would like to know why the next writing is a joke. Because the wife's behavior is contradictory. She makes claims about not being very old and then acts like an old person, wanting to hear music from years ago.
