“Wife and I exchanged Valentine’s Day cards at the store. Then we put them back on the rack”

“The wife and I exchanged Valentine’s Day cards at the store. Then we put them back on the rack…DONE!” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many images. The saying—in both “wife and I” and “hubby and I” versions—probably originated on these images.
