An Old Joke
This is an old joke, about the Four Dimensions of Happiness. So, a happy man has An American Salary A British House A Chinese Cook And A Japanese Wife. The other end of the maxim, the four dimensions of unhappiness, is also spelt out as well: A Chinese Salary A British Cook A Japanese House And An American Wife. Apologies, because, this is very male and lots of stereotypes here [some are also dated, because Chinese salary is no longer that bad]. But, worth a laugh!
