And now, a Sunday funny: WHO SAYS MEN DON’T REMEMBER ANNIVERSARIES?

A woman awoke during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed. She put on her robe and went downstairs to look for him. She found him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. He appeared to be in deep thought….. just staring at the wall. She watched as he wiped a tear from his eye and took a sip of his coffee.

“What’s the matter, dear?” she whispered as she stepped into the room. Why are you down here at this time of night?”

The husband looked up from his coffee. “I’m just remembering when we first met 20 years ago and started dating. You were only 16. Do you remember back then?” he said solemnly.

The wife was touched to tears, thinking that her husband was so caring, so sensitive. “Yes, I do,” she replied.

The husband paused. The words were not coming easily. “Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?”

“Yes, I remember,” said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.

The husband continued, “Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, ‘Either you marry my daughter, or I will have you sent to jail for 20 years?”

“I remember that too,” she replied softly.

He wiped another tear from his cheek and said…..

“I would have gotten out today.”

    Love the funny of the day. Especially after this weeks news—

    Guess whose ex-husband (since 1981) was just hired to be our old home town Chief Of Police??

    guess I will have to drive carefully when I go home to visit mom…

  11. Oh, Ev….I’m so sorry! Having to behave for fear of the ex would just stink!!! In my case, they’re usually looking for the ex so I’m free and clear!
