~Ex-Wife~
(Plus: Today in History and Word for the Day)

A man and his wife are dining at a table in a plush restaurant, and the husband keeps staring at a drunken lady swigging her gin as she sits alone at a nearby table, until the wife asks, "Do you know her?"

"Yes," sighs the husband, "She's my ex-wife. She took to drink right after we divorced seven years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since."

"My God!” says the wife, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?" ***

~Wedding Anniversary Gift. ~ (2nd time around)

A husband was in BIG trouble when he forgot his wedding anniversary.

His wife told him, "Tomorrow there had BETTER be something in the driveway for me that goes zero to 200 in 2 seconds flat".

The next morning the wife found a small package in the driveway. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.

Funeral arrangements for the husband have been set for this Saturday. ***
