As he began moping behind her, she turned and handed him the cans of soup saying "Take these home and clean the bathroom","There's piss all over the floor"!!!!!!!!!!!! "And heavens to betsy, wash that Combgrease shampoo goo out of your hair"!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I'm gonna treat myself to a snowcone"..............."Good bye, Dear". She then wiped his eyes and kissed his forehead.....

I don't think that works very well in this story...if I'm reading it right, Joseph's wife isn't actually a 'banshee,' he just wants her to be so he can fall into that old cliche umbrella.
