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.

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.

I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

Think positively, the world is has enough negativity for a dozen lifetimes (I realize that’s slightly counterintuitive but don’t put to much thought into it).

I was joking. :) Jeremy and I already carried on the sports thing all the way through many sports the other day. I ended up on the fact I am an old Tennis player (I haven't picked up a racket in two decades though): Tennis is a romantic sport, even when you have nothing, you have "love". don't forget that three strikes in bowling is a VERY good thing. :-D Plus my new girlfriend is nothing like my exes.
