Here is a story about a husband and wife sitting around the table one Sunday morning, drinking coffee and reading the paper…
The man sniffles.
The wife asks, "are you OK?"
He says, "yes I am fine."
A few moments later he sniffles again.
She asks, "are you sure you are not coming down with something."
He answers, "I am fine, I was just reminiscing."
She gleefully asks, "Oh, what about?"
He quietly says, "Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car and pointed his shot gun at me and said, 'young man either you are going to marry my daughter or you are going to spend the next ten years in prison.'"
She chuckles and says, "Oh yeah, I remember daddy doing that."
He lowers his paper, tears are welling up in his eyes and starting to roll down his cheeks as he says, "I would have gotten out today."
