A henpecked husband is demanded by his wife to provide something bigger and better than what the neighbor's have. When he goes to tell her the latest thing the neighbor's wife got, his wife tells him to shut up and just give her one bigger and better, so he picks up a shotgun and blows her head off. He tried to tell her that the neighbor had given his wife a hole in the head for trying to keep up with the neighbors.
