Number of Words

A husband, proving to his wife that women talk more than men, showed her a study which indicated that men use on the average only 15,000 words a day, where as women use 30,000 words a day

She thought about this for awhile and then told her husband that women use twice as many words as men because they have to repeat everything they say
