I feel like this was probably their idea of an Onion article style humour at the time although it's obviously patronizing when looked at today.

Onion style humor is called satire. I don't believe Honeywell was aiming for satire, rather just a joke at the wife's expense.

I feel they thought it was satire. If you look at the Onion, it's often at someone's expense.
