A couple was attending their family reunion. At the banquet, everybody wanted to know how they managed to stay married so long in this day and age.

A popular family reunion joke. One day, a little girl is sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly notices that her mother has several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.

Her mother replied, “Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white”. The little girl thought about this revelation for a while, and then said, “Momma, how come *all* of grandma’s hairs are white?”

“Then in July,” John continued, “My father died leaving me $50,000.”

Wisdom from Grandpa…

• Whether a man winds up with a nest egg, or a goose egg, depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries.
• Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin’ his salt, that he forgets his sugar.
• Too many couples marry for better, or for worse, but not for good.
• When a man marries a woman, they become one; but the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
• If a man has enough horse sense to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she will never turn into an old nag.
• On anniversaries, the wise husband always forgets the past – but never the present.
• A foolish husband says to his wife, “Honey, you stick to the washin’, ironin’, cookin’, and scrubbin’. No wife of mine is gonna work.”
• The bonds of matrimony are a good investment, only when the interest is kept up.
• Many girls like to marry a military man – he can cook, sew, and make beds, and is in good health, and he’s already used to taking orders.
• Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age, and start bragging about it.
• The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
• Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know “why” I look this way. I’ve traveled a long way and some of the roads weren’t paved.
