Painful Remembrance
A woman woke in the middle of the night to find
her husband missing from their bed. In the stillness of the house,
she could hear a muffled sound downstairs.
She went downstairs and looked all around, still not finding her
husband. Listening again, she could definitely hear moaning. She
went down to the basement to find her husband, crouched in the
corner facing the wall, sobbing.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked him. "Remember when your father
caught us fooling around when you were 16?" he replied. "And remember,
he said, I had two choices: I could either marry you, or spend
the next 20 years in prison."
Baffled, she said, "yes, I remember. So?"
"Well...I would have gotten out today!"
