 FUNNIES
 Secret to A Long and Happy Marriage

   At All Saints Lutheran Church they have a weekly husband's marriage seminar. At the session last week, the Pastor asked Ole, who was approaching his 50th wedding anniversary, to take a few minutes and share some insight into how he had managed to stay married to the same woman all these years.

   Vell, Ole replied to the assembled husbands, 'I've tried to treat her nice, spend da money on her, but best of all I took her to Norvay for da 20th anniversary!'

  The Pastor responded, Ole, you are an amazing inspiration to all the husbands here! Please tell us what you are planning for your wife for your 50th anniversary.'

Ole proudly replied, 'I'm a-gonna go get her.'

Thanks DA!

RED SKELTON'S RECIPE FOR THE PERFECT MARRIAGE

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. 

I take my wife everywhere....
but she keeps finding her
way back. 

We always hold hands.
If I let go, she shops.

 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 . 

She got a mud pack and
looked great for two days.
Then the mud fell off. 

She ran after the garbage truck,

yelling "Am I too late for the garbage?" .....

 The driver said "No, jump in!" 

I haven't spoken to my
wife in 18 months.
I don't like to interrupt her.. 
 

The last fight was my fault though.
My wife asked "What's on the TV?"
I said "Dust!" 

Thanks Mike!
