Jordan - Proverbs 21

"It is better to live in a desert land than with a contentious and fretful wife" (v19).  Seriously, who was the editor for Proverbs?  Did every little rambling make the cut?  All I can imagine is that some guy got into a little tussle with his wife, probably for not taking out the trash or something, and wrote down this joke and somehow it got into The Book.  Funny.  He is probably up in heaven right now and his contentious wife is still telling him how she can't believe he wrote that!
