Have a great 33rd today. Enjoy your cosmopolitan.
As required of me:
At the banquet of Ray and Linda’s 33rd wedding anniversary, Ray was
asked to give his friends a brief account of the benefits of a marriage
of such long duration.
“Tell us, Ray, just what is it you have learned from all those wonderful
years with your wife?”
Ray responded, “Well, I’ve learned that marriage is the best teacher of
all. It teaches you loyalty, forbearance, meekness, self-restraint,
forgiveness — and a great many other qualities you wouldn’t have needed
if you’d stayed single.”
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Two gentleman were talking and one said to the other, "You're having an
anniversary soon, right?" The other replied, "Yep, 33 years." "Wow,"
said the other. "What are you going to get your wife for your
anniversary?" The other replied, "We're going on a trip to Antarctica."
"Wow, Antartica, that's some gift!" said the other man. "That's going to
be hard to beat. What are you going to do for your 40th anniversary?"
"Oh, I'll probably go back and get her."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Ray asks his wife, Linda, what she wants to celebrate their 33rd wedding
anniversary. "Would you like a new mink coat?" he asks. "Not really,"
says Linda. "Well how about a new Mercedes sports car?" says Ray. "No,"
she responds. "What about a new vacation home in the country?" he
suggests. She again rejects his offer with a "No thanks." "Well what
would you like for your anniversary?" Ray asks. "Ray, I'd like a
divorce," answers Linda. "Sorry, I wasn't planning to spend that much,"
says Ray.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A couple were celebrating their 33rd Wedding anniversary. Their domestic
tranquility had long been the talk of the town. A local newspaper
reporter was inquiring as to the secret of the long and happy marriage.
'Well, it dates back to our honeymoon,' explained the husband. 'We
visited the Grand Canyon and took at trip down to the bottom of 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 when the mule stumbled again. Once more my wife quietly said,
"That's twice." We hadn't gone half a mile when the mule stumbled a
third time. My wife took a pistol out of her pocket and shot the mule.
'I started to protest over her treatment of the mule when she looked at
me and quietly said, "That's once."
