Marriages and Police !

Marriage Secret:

My wife and I have the secret to making a marriage last:

1. Two times a week, we go to a nice restaurant, have a little wine, some good food and companionship. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.

2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in Sydney and mine is in Melbourne.

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 Then she said, "There are too many gadgets and no place to sit down!". So I bought her an electric chair.

7. Remember.... Marriage is the number one cause of divorce. Statistically, 100% of all divorces started with marriage.

8. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always.

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

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

Have A Great Day!
(remember, these secrets can save a life, or a wife)

They're married:

A woman awakens during the night to find that her husband is 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 asks tenderly 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 when we were first dating, we were so young?" he asks.

"Yes, I do," she replies.

The husband continues, his voice brimming with emotion. "Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car cuddling and so on?"

"Yes, I remember," says the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.

The husband continues. "Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter, or I'll see that you go to jail for 30 years?'"

"I remember that,” she replies softly, taking his hand.

He wipes a tear from his cheek and says, "I would have gotten out today."

Police Story:

It's Tuesday; three in the afternoon. Los Angeles police
pick up a con artist on a section 872, the old Fountain
of Youth scam. The con artist is selling bottles filled
with a liquid that he claims slows the aging process.

The detective tells his partner, "Frank, check his record.
My gut tells me that our boy has played this game before."

Frank reports back. "You're right, he's got priors. He was
busted for the same thing in 1815, 1887, 1921...."
