A judge was interviewing a lady regarding her pending divorce,
and he asked her, “What are the grounds for your divorce?”
She replied, “About four acres and a nice little home in the
middle of the property with a stream running by.”
“No,” he said, “I mean what is the foundation of this case?”
“Why, it is made of concrete, of course,” she responded.
“I mean,” he continued, “what are your relations like?”
“I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, as well as my
husband’s parents.”
He said, “Do you have a real grudge?”
“No,” she replied, “we have a two-car carport and have never
really needed one.”
“Please,” he tried again, “is there any infidelity in your
marriage?”
“Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don’t
necessarily like the music, but the answer to your question
is ‘yes’.”
“Ma’am, does your husband ever beat you up?”
“Yes,” she responded, “about twice a week he gets up earlier
than I do.”
Finally, frustrated and at the end of his rope, the judge asked,
“Lady, why do you want a divorce?”
“Oh, I don’t want a divorce,” she replied. “I’ve never wanted a
divorce. It’s my husband that does. He says he can’t communicate
with me.”
