Hey there,

Please don't get offended by this joke--it's cute! A friend told it to me while on a 20 mile run--you start to run out of things to talk about around mile 13, and sense of humor is one of the first to go! So we tell each other jokes, and this one was funny. It's kinda long, tho! Hang in there' you'll chuckle.

A 90 year old man and his 90 year old wife sat on the porch on the night of their 70th wedding anniversary. The years had been good to them: she, a loving wife who'd raised their children at home, and he, a politician-- first a lawyer, then a judge, then a state representative.

As the couple rocked in their chairs, she turned to him and said "Henry, I have a confession. In our marraige I have been unfaithful to you three times." "Three times?!" was his incredulous reply. "Yes, but only to sustain our marriage and our life!" "I don't understand!"

She explained. "The first time was back when you were practicing law. You were just starting out and I remember you had a big case. You were representing that man whose insurance company wouldn't pay his benefits. Remember the claims adjuster who just woldn't budge? Well, I . . . convinced him to see things your way."

"Doris! I can't believe it! But, well, I guess you thought you were helping me out."

"Well, the second time was when you were running for the bench, and you wanted the endorsement of the mayor and he just couldn't see things your way. All of a sudden he was supporting you . . ."

"Oh Doris! Not the mayor! well, It did work out for the best. What, tell me, was the third time?"

"Well, remember when you needed 57 votes in the House to support your Bill . . .?"

This was a lot funnier with depleted electrolytes!

I like the wife's logic
