The Question

A man and his wife were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. The wife says to her husband, "For our anniversary this year, you can ask me one question, any question you want to and I will answer it truthfully."

The husband replies, "Okay, this has been bothering me for a long time, but I haven't had the courage to ask you before... I have noticed that all of our eight children look similar to one another except for Billy. I can't figure out how he got to look so different. Did he have a different father than the rest?"

The wife appears stunned and is unable to look her husband in the eyes. Slowly she replies, "Yes, he did have a different father."

Her husband was taken aback. "Oh, my! Okay... I must know. Please tell me. Who is Billy's father?"

Again she cannot look her husband in the eyes. She is very distressed and after a long silence she slowly said, "You."

My Love For You Grows

Every Valentine's Day, John gave Sue a bouquet of red roses with a note that always said the same five words: "My love for you grows." He did this for all the 46 years they were married.

Then, sadly, John passed away. And as Valentines Day rolled around, Sue knew not to expect anything. But when a bouquet arrived with a note from John, Sue, heartbroken and angry, called the florist to report the cruel trick.

But the florist assured the widow it wasn't a mistake. "Before he passed away, your husband prepaid for many years and asked us to guarantee that you'd continue receiving rose bouquets every Valentine's Day."

When she hung up the phone, she read the attached card with tears in her eyes: "My love for you is eternal."

Happy Anniversary

A couple were married for 50 years and on the 50th anniversary, the wife found her husband crying. Touched by this, she said, "Honey, I never knew that after 50 years you would still love me the same way you did 50 years ago".

The husband looked at the wife and asked her, "Honey, do you remember 50 years ago when your father caught us behind the barn naked?"

And the wife blushed and said that she did.

Her husband replied, "Do you remember what your father told me that day?"

She said she didn't.

"He told me that if I didn't marry you, he would have me locked up in prison for 50 years."

The wife looked at the husband and said, "And?"

The husband started crying again and said,  "I could of been a free man by now,"

The Box

A man and a woman were married for 40 years. When they first got married the man said, "I am putting a box under the bed. You must promise never to look in it." In all their 40 years of marriage the woman never looked.

However on the afternoon of their 40th anniversary curiosity got the best of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the box were 3 empty beer bottles and $1954.25 in small bills. She closed the box and put it back under the bed. Now that she knew what was in the box, she was doubly curious as to why.

That evening they were out for a special dinner at their favorite restaurant. After dinner the woman could no longer contain her curiosity and she confessed, saying, "I am so sorry. For all these years I kept my promise and never looked. However today the temptation was too much and I gave in. But now I need to know why do you keep the bottles in the box?"

The man thought for a while and said, "I guess after all these wonderful years you deserve to know the truth: Whenever I was unfaithful to you I put an empty beer bottle in the box under the bed to remind myself not to do it again."

The woman was shocked, but said, "I am very disappointed and saddened, but I guess after all those years away from home on the road, temptation does happen. And I guess that 3 times is not that bad considering the years." They hugged and made their peace.

A little while later, the woman asked the man, "Why do you have all that money in the box?" To which the man answered, "Whenever the box filled with empties, I cashed them in."

The Anniversary Dinner

The wealthy old gentleman and his wife were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and their three grown sons joined them for dinner.

The old man was rather irritated when he discovered none of the boys had bothered to bring a gift, and after the meal, he drew them aside.

"You're all grown men," he said, "and old enough to hear this. Your mother and I have never been legally married."

"What?" gasped one of the sons. "Do you mean to say we're all bastards?"

"Yes," snapped the old man, "and cheap ones, too!"
