    My SO found this this morning and thought it worth passing on. 1. Two times a week, we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays. 2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in California and mine is in Texas. 3. I take my wife everywhere...but she keeps finding her way back. 4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested the kitchen. 5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops. 6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. She said "There are too many gadgets and no place to sit down!" .. So I bought her an electric chair. 7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburator. I asked where the car was; she told me "In the lake." 8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off. 9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling "Am I too late for the garbage?" .... The driver said "No, jump in!" 10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce. 11. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always. 12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her. 13. The last fight was my fault though. My wife asked "What's on the TV?" I said "Dust!"

              When I was a kid, I listened to Red Skelton on the radio (yes, we had no TV at the time). However, I hate to say many of these jokes on marriage are a rehash of many Henny Youngman jokes. Both guys are funny but Red targeted a wider audience while Henny was targeting primarily adults. However, these two gents made me laugh.

                I can imagine them reading your subject line and picturing a red skeleton giving marriage advice.

                            Isn't it the average among the general population nowadays? Or at least among the population that doesn't treat women like property and let them have actual rights, and voices of their own? I'm just gonna leave it at that, otherwise this can quickly degenerate into something that'll violate the lounge's religion discussion rules. Not that I think many here would defend said practices. Fortunately.
