Man's life! A woman awakes during the night to find
that her husband was not in
bed. She goes downstairs to look for
him. She finds him sitting at the
kitchen table with a cup of coffee in
front of him. He appears to be in deep
thought, just staring at the wall. She
watches as he wipes a tear from his
eye and takes a sip of his coffee.
"What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the
room.
"Why are you down here at this time of night?" The husband looks
up
from his coffee, "Do you remember
20 years ago when we were dating,
and you were only 18?" he asks solemnly.
"Yes I do" she replies.
The husband pauses; the words were not coming easily.
"Do you remember when your father
caught us in the garden?"
"Yes, I remember" said the wife, lowering herself into a chair
beside him.
The husband continued.. "Do you
remember when he showed the
shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter, or I'll send
you to jail for 20 years?" "I remember that too" she replied
softly.
He wiped another tear from his cheek and said, "I would have been
released today"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
