Golden Wedding Anniversary
A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary. Their
domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town. A local
newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and
happy marriage.
“Well, it dates back to our honeymoon,” explained the man. "We
visited the Grand Canyon and took a trip down to the bottom on the
canyon by pack mule. We hadn’t gone too far when my wife’s mule
stumbled. My wife quietly said, ‘That’s once.’
"We proceeded a little further and the mule stumbled again. Once
more my wife quietly said, ‘That twice.’
"We hadn’t gone a half-mile when the mule stumbled the third time.
My wife quietly removed a revolver from her pocket and shot the mule
dead.
“I started to protest over her treatment of the mule when she looked
at me and quietly said, ‘That’s once’.”
