An Old Wife Slaps Her Husband Verbally

There are many advantages to being married, but there is also a price to be paid at times. After all, as we get more and more familiar with someone, we begin to also get comfortable with the things we say.

My mother always told me that, if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. That can be difficult when you are married and you think of a real zinger.

Of course, if people always said the nice thing, we wouldn’t have the opportunity to laugh at some really funny jokes. This joke is a good example.

A man and his wife are at a high school reunion and the husband keeps staring at a gorgeous drunken lady swigging her gin at a nearby table, glass after glass.

His wife turns to him and asks, “Do you know her?”

“Yes,” sighs the husband.

“She’s my ex-wife. She took to drinking 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 for that long?”
