My Wife Loves a Challenge and My Wife Loves Me; You Do the Math

Women give hints
So that men will think
It was their idea
 
I’ve never been good at taking a hint
But I’m good at following orders
So, when my wife tells me
She doesn’t like it when I bring her flowers
I can follow orders by taking the hint:
This isn’t going to be easy
(Which is how I know it’s not my idea)
