Secret of a "happy" marriage
In a small town, a news reporter interviewed an elderly couple on the eve of the 75th wedding anniversary. This is always news in small towns, as everyone knows everyone.
Reporter to husband: What's the secret of your long and happy 75 year marriage.
Husband: (Answers without hesitation) I do whatever she says immediately!
Reporter: (Somewhat shocked) Why do you say that?
Husband: Well, it all started on our honeymoon. We decided to go on a guided horseback tour. We get on the trail, and her horse bucked. She leaned forward and said to the horse, "That's one."
I looked back at her kind of funny, but we kept moving. A little farther down the trail, the horse bucked again. She said, "That's two."
Thinking nothing of it this time as I looked back, we continued on. A little farther down the trail, the horse bucked again. This time, she jumped off the horse, grabbed a riffle and shot him dead.
Reporter: That's awful! What did you do?
Husband: I jumped off my horse and screamed at her, "Woman are you crazy that's an expensive horse that we have to pay for."
She looked at me and said, "That's one."
So, I guess if you tell her you're going out to shoot pool, and she says, "That's one." I'd run for the hills!
Don't know why I thought of this story, but it seemed appropriate.
