Does Your Husband Belong in the 1930s?

Via Fark [1]—a 1933 "Test for Husbands" (in two [2] parts [3]) that offers points and demerits for various behaviors. How would your husband shape up?

Reads the newspaper at the table: 1 demerit
Reads newspaper, books, or magazines aloud to wife: 1 point
Talks of the efficiency of his stenographer or other women: 1 demerit
Gives wife real movie kisses, not dutiful "pecks" on the cheek: 1 point

Points off, too, for being too much of a bookworm, kissing your wife right after she's applied her makeup, and writing on the tablecloth. Luckily, a husband can win a whole 20 points—the most awarded in the entire quiz!—for being "ardent, considerate, and sensitive in relations" ... Does that mean what I think it means? Who knew married couples in the '30s were all about bumping connubial uglies?

Minneapolis journalist and veteran blogger James Lileks apparently found this retro gem [4] in the offices of the Star Tribune; a test for wives and parents is promised in coming days.

Of course, the real question is: How would Obama fare [5] on this point system?
