An
elderly couple are sitting around one evening and the man says to wife
Marsha, "We are about to celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary. We've
had a wonderful life together, full of contentment and blessings. But
there's something I've always wondered about: Tell the truth. Have you ever
been unfaithful to me?"
She hesitates a moment, then says "Yes, 3 times, Sidney."
"Three times?" How could that happen?" Sidney asks.
The wife begins recalling slowly "Well, do you remember right after we
were married and we were so broke, and the bank was going to foreclose on
our little house?"
"Yes, that was really a terrible time" replies the man. Marsha
continued, "And remember when I went to see the banker one night and
the next day the bank extended our loan?"
"That's hard to take" the man says "but I guess it really was
for us, so I can forgive you. What was the second time?"
"Well," she continued "do you remember years later when you
almost died from the heart problem because we couldn't afford the
operation?"
"Yes of course" the man replies." Then you will remember that
right after I went to see the doctor, he did your operation at no
cost?" she explained.
That's true" Sidney nodded. "That shocks me, Marsha, but I do
understand that you did it out of love for me, and I forgive you. So, what
was the third time?"
Marsha lowers her head and says "Sidney, do you remember when you ran
for Country Club President and you needed 62 more votes?"
The man fainted....
