A couple was celebrating their golden wedding
anniversary. Their domestic tranquility had long been the
talk of the town, and on this special occasion, a local
newspaper reporter paid them a visit. He inquired as to the
secret of their long and happy marriage.
"Well," explained the husband, "it all goes back to our
honeymoon. We visited the Grand Canyon and took a trip down
to the bottom of the canyon by pack mule."
"We hadn't gone too far when my wife's mule stumbled. My
wife quietly said 'That's once.' We proceeded a little
farther when the mule stumbled again. Once more my wife
quietly spoke: 'That's twice.' We hadn't gone a half-mile
when the mule stumbled a third time. My wife promptly
removed a revolver from her purse, hopped down off the
beast, and shot the mule dead."
"I started to protest over her treatment of the mule when
she looked at me and quietly said, 'That's once." |
