A married couple never fought, not even once in 25 years of marriage. A friend of the couple asked, “How is that even possible?” The husband replied, well we went to a ranch for our honeymoon. While horse riding, my wife fell off. She got up and patted the horse and said, “This is your first time.” After a while it happened again and she said, “This is your second time” and when it happened the third time, she pulled out a gun and shot the horse. I shouted at her “Are you CRAZY?! You killed the horse!!” She gave me a look and said, “This is your first time.”

Two flies were buzzing around a messy kitchen and landed on a knife handle. They gorged themselves on leftover particles of bologna. Then they became airborne again, felt dizzy and dropped to the floor dead. The moral of this story? Don’t fly off the handle when you’re full of bologna.
