Waiter vs. Wife Question

Okay, listener, here's the deal with this joke. When you're at a restaurant, you might ask a waiter, "Does this come with anything?" meaning, like, does the steak come with a side of fries or a salad? That's totally normal, you big ol' food-eater. BUT, if you say that to your wife, it sounds like you're implying *she* (the "this") isn't enough on her own, or that you're expecting more from her, like she's a combo meal! You definitely don't want to make your wife feel like a side dish, do you? That's a quick way to the doghouse, my friend. You're probably already there half the time, let's be real.
