A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband is not in bed. She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be deep in 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 this time of the night?” The husband looks up from his coffee. “It’s the 20th anniversary of the day we met.” She can’t believe he has remembered and starts to tear up. The husband continues, “Do you remember 20 years when we started dating, I was 18 and you were only 16,” he says solemnly. Once again the wife is touched to tears and nods her head. The husband pauses- the words were not coming easily. “Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?” “Yes, I remember,” she says, lowering herself into the chair beside him. “Do you remember when he shoved a shot gun in my face and said ‘Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to prison for 20 years?’” “I remember that, too,” she said softly. He wiped another tear from his cheek and said, “I would have gotten out today.”

When a group of tourists visited a crocodile farm, the owner launched a bold proposal: Whoever dares to jump in, swim to the coast, and survives, I will give you $1 million dollars. No one dared to move. Suddenly a man jumped into the water and desperately swam to the shore, all the while being chased by hungry crocodiles. With enormous luck came taking in everyone’s admiration at the scene, and then the owner announced, “We have a brave winner!” After collecting his reward, the couple returned to the hotel. Upon his arrival, the manager told him that he was very brave to jump. The man said, “I didn’t jump! Someone pushed me!” The wife smiled. This just goes to show: Behind every successful man, there is a woman who pushes him.

A woman with a salad walked past me in the restaurant and said “You know a cow died so you could eat that beefburger.” I said, “If you weren’t eating its food, it might have lived.”
