Maried a long time
To our shock and horror, my sister-in-law and I realized we had each been married nearly 50 years. “That’s a long time,” I observed.
“A long, long time,” she agreed. Then she smiled. “Something just occurred to me.”
“What’s that?”
“If I had killed your brother the first time I felt like it, I’d be out of jail by now.”
Backpacking
After eight days of backpacking with my wife Linda, we were looking pretty scruffy. One morning she came to breakfast in a baseball cap, her shoulder length hair sticking out at odd angles.
“Terry,” she said, “does my hair make me look like a water buffalo?”
I thought for a moment, then said, “If I tell you the truth, do you promise not to charge?”
Amphibious invasion
I had been teaching my seventh-graders about World War II, and a test question was, “What was the largest amphibious assault of all time?”
Expecting to see “the D-Day invasion” as the answer, I found instead on one paper, “Moses and the plague of frogs.”
