    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".

                          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.

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 :)

                                        The problem I have with the joke - and I don't mean to over analyse - is that the wife seems quite caring and supportive.

                                        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

                                          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.
