A husband and wife are getting ready for bed. The wife is standing in front of a full-length mirror taking a hard look at her self. "You know, dear," she says, "I look in the mirror, and I see an old woman. My face is all wrinkled, my arms are all flabby (and for sake of getting this joke past the moderators) she comments that several other items aren't at the same elevation they used to be"

She turns to her husband and says, "Tell me something positive to make me feel better about myself."

He studies hard for a moment thinking about it and then says in a soft, thoughtful voice, "Well...there's nothing wrong with your eyesight."

Services for the husband will be held Saturday morning at 10:30 at St.Anselm's Memorial Chapel. Female friends of the family are invited

Good'un, DOK -

Being at that age now, I usually pretend to be hard of hearing with such questions! :D

My selective hearing has saved my bacon more than once. :rolleyes:

You better start practicing your straight face right now, it will save you blood, sweat, tears, not to mention sleeping on the couch. Also, be prepared for, when you ask the question, "What's wrong?" and get the firm, loud answer, "NOTHING!" Apologize anyway. It's an art I haven't mastered in 42 years of marriage, so our new couch is a hide-a-bed.

It's like that age-old question, "Does this outfit make my (fill in the blank) look too big?"

The only correct answer is, "Of course not. Don't be silly!" Anything else, including any hesitation, is tantamount to begging for a fight.
