Hi folks,
A couple was having a romantic dinner one evening when the husband reached across the table, took his wife's hand in his and said, "Kathleen, soon we will have been married for 40 years, and there's something I have often wondered about. In all of these 40 years, have you ever been unfaithful to me?"
Kathleen replied, "Gerry, I have to be honest with you. Yes, I've been unfaithful to you three times during these 40 years, but always for a good reason."
"I never suspected”, said Gerry. “Can you tell me what you mean by 'good reasons'?"
Kathleen said, "The very first time was shortly after we were married, and we were about to lose our little house because we couldn't pay the mortgage. Do you remember that one evening I went to see the banker and the next day he notified you that the loan would be extended?"
Gerry was obviously hurt by his wife's confession, but said, "Thank you. I can forgive you for that. You saved our home. But what about the second time?"
Kathleen replied "And do you remember when you were so sick, but we didn't have the money to pay for the heart surgery you needed? Well, I went to see your doctor one night and, if you recall, he did the surgery at no charge?"
"I recall that," says Gerry. "And you did it to save my life, so of course, I can forgive you for that. But tell me about the third time."
"All right", Kathleen said. "So do you remember when you ran for president of your golf club and you needed 73 more votes...and you won?"
