Ten Commandments of Marriage
  • Commandment 1 - Marriages are made in heaven. But so again, are thunder and lightning.
  • Commandment 2 - If you want your spouse to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.
  • Commandment 3 - Marriage is grand -- and divorce is at least 100 grand!
  • Commandment 4 - Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.
  • Commandment 5 - When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: Either the car is new or the wife is.
  • Commandment 6 - Marriage is when a man and woman become as one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
  • Commandment 7 - Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you said. After marriage, he will fall asleep before you finish talking.
  • Commandment 8 - Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, understanding, economical, and a good cook. But the law allows only one wife.
  • Commandment 9 - Every woman wants a man who is handsome, understanding, economical and a considerate lover, but again, the law allows only one husband.
  • Commandment 10 - Man is incomplete until he marries. After that, he is finished.

Tired of the inconvenience of driving from the airport to his country cottage...

... a man equipped his small plane with pontoons so he could land on the lake directly in front of his cottage. On his next trip however, he made his approach down the airport runway as usual.

Alarmed, his wife cried out, "Are you crazy? You can't land this plane here without wheels!" The startled husband yanked the nose up, narrowly averting certain disaster.

Continuing home, he landed the plane on the lake without mishap. As he sat there, visibly shaken, he said to his wife, "I don't know what on earth got into me. That's the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life!"

And with that, he opened the door and stepped out... right into the water.
