Abstinence is tough, purity even tougher.

A successful marriage is a process, not an event.

Grandpa Cartnell was celebrating his 100th birthday and everybody complimented him on how athletic and well-preserved he appeared. "I will tell you the secret of my success," he cackled.  "My wife and I were married 75 years ago.  On our wedding night, we made a solemn pledge.  Whenever we had a fight, the one who was proved wrong would go outside and take a walk.  Gentlemen, I have been walking in the open air day after day for some 75 years now."

Frank was a happily married man who had only one complaint: His wife, Myra, was always nursing sick birds. One cold November evening he came home to find a raven with a splint on its beak sitting in his favorite chair.  On the dining room table there was a feverish eagle pecking at an aspirin tablet, while in the kitchen Myra was comforting a shivering wren. Frank dropped his briefcase and strode over to where his wife was towelling down the cold little bird.  "Myra!" he shouted.  "I can't take it anymore!  We've got to get rid of all of these ..." Myra held up her hand and cut him off in sentence. "Please dear," she said.  "Not in front of the chilled wren!"

One Stormy Night
It was a terrible night, blowing cold and rain in a most frightful manner.  The streets were deserted and the local baker was just about to close up  shop when a little man slipped through the door.  He carried an umbrella, blown inside out, and was bundled in two sweaters and a thick coat.  But even so he still looked wet and bedraggled. As he unwound his scarf he said to the baker, "May I have two roles to go, please?" The baker said in astonishment, "Two roles?  Nothing more?" "That's right," answered the little man.  "One for me and one for Bernice." "Bernice is your wife?" Asked the baker. "What do you think," snapped the little man, "my mother would send me out on a night like this?"
