The problem I have with the joke - and I don't mean to over analyse - is that the wife seems quite caring and supportive. The comparison of married life to a jail sentence seems to be invalid in this case. Now, if the wife came down stairs and started castigating him for sitting crying in the middle of the night and not being manly enough then it might be a better comparison.

Thats really a refreshing way of looking at it, instead of running with the herd - you got my 5 :)

Ah - the joy of the over-analysed joke:-D.
the last thing I want to see is some pasty-faced geek with skin so pale that it's almost translucent trying to bump parts with a partner - John Simmons / outlaw programmer
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before. -
A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in bed. She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee. "What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room. "Why are you down here at this time of night?" The husband looks up from his coffee, "Do you remember 10 years ago When we were dating, and you were only 16?" he asks solemnly. "Yes I do" she replies. The husband pauses; 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'll send you to jail for 10 years?". migh says: "I remember that too" she replied softly. He wiped another tear from his cheek and said, "I would have been released today".
Marriage. Not a word. A sentence.

Here, I'll fix the problem for you: Re-read the joke except every time the wife says something, pretend she has the voice of golem.

My Ex and I split up in July, 2003. I've never been happier. If she ever needs to communicate with me, she knows who my solicitor is.

Well, since my finances were ripped apart by the split, putting me £25K in debt (I had to buy out her half of the house even although she never paid any of the mortgage and I took on her credit card debt*) by the end of it, I thought it better to remove the reference lest it cost me more. * Actually that was partly my own stupid fault for making her a second card holder on my account. Since the settlement demanded she only repay £4K of it, I was lumped with the rest

The ugly thing about jail is not someone caring about you, but loss of control. Just saying.

One should never analyze a joke.
