My wife has these days when she wants us to “talk about things.”

On one of these occasions, we were discussing our future so I asked her, “What would you do if I die before you do?”

After some thought, she said that she’d probably look for a house-sharing situation with two or three other single or widowed women who might be a little younger than herself, since she is so active for her age.

Then she asked me, “What will you do if I die first?”

I replied, “Probably the same thing.”


A man was wandering around a fairground and he happened to see a fortune-tellers tent. Thinking it would be good for a laugh, he went inside and sat down.

“Ah…..” said the woman as she gazed into her crystal ball. “I see you are the father of two children.”

“That’s what you think”, the man laughed. I’m the father of THREE children.”

The woman grinned and said, “That’s what YOU think!”


Two friends are discussing the possibility of love.

“I thought I was in love three times,” one friend says.

“How so?” his friend asks.

“Five years ago I deeply cared for a woman who wanted nothing to do with me.”

“And that wasn’t love?” his friend asks.

“No,” he replies. “That was obsession. Then two years ago I deeply cared for an attractive woman who didn’t understand me.”

“Was that love?”

“No,” he replies. “That was lust. And just last year I met a woman aboard a cruise ship to the Caribbean. She was smart, funny, and a great conversationalist. And everywhere we met on that boat, I would get this strange sensation in the pit of my stomach.”

“Was that love?” his friend asks.

“No,” he replies. “That was seasickness.”
