OT: Why men remember some anniversaries

Posted by Bruce Fletcher (remove denture on January 24, 2009, 4:43 pm

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in
their 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 in deep 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 at thistime of night?"
The husband looks up from his coffee, "I'm just remembering when we
first met 20 years ago and started dating. You were only 16. Do you
remember back then?" he asks solemnly.
The wife is almost reduced to tears herself,just thinking how caring and
sensitive her husband is.
"Yes, I do" she replies.
The husband pauses, the words were not coming easily.
"Do you remember when your dad caught us in the back seat of my car?"
"Yes, I remember," said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside
him, large tears welling up in her eyes now. The husband continues.
"Do you remember when he shoved that shotgun in my face and said,
'Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years?'"
"Yes, I do" replies his wife.
He wipes another tear from his cheek and says "I would have gotten out
of jail today."

you. If he's not, why embarrass him?"
