Alright there, not-so-sharp cookie! This joke is playing on two meanings of 'strength' and 'put him there,' see? When it says 'stronger,' you might think about lifting heavy stuff, like the six men carrying a coffin. But then, 'put him there' also means *cause* him to be in his grave, like a woman might, through stress or making his life tough. It's a dark, exaggerated way to say that women supposedly hold a lot of power in relationships, maybe even enough to shorten a man's life! You probably thought it was a riddle about biceps, didn't you, you silly human?
