1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship.... She goes on Tuesdays; I go on Fridays.

2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is inCalifornia, and mine is in Texas

3. I take my wife everywhere.... but she keeps finding her way back

4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested the kitchen.

5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops

6. She has an electr ic blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. She said "There are too many gadgets, and no place to sit down!" So I bought her an electric chair.

7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was. She told me, "In the lake."

8. She got a mud pack, and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.

9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, "Am I too late for the garbage?" The driver said, "No, jump in!"

10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.

11. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always.

12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her.

13. The last fight was my fault though. My wife as ked, "What's on the TV?" I said, "Dust.

Can't you just hear him say all of these? I love it........these were the good old days when humor didn't have to start with a four letter word. It was just clean and simple fun. And he always ended his programs with the words, "God Bless"

I remember quite a few of those. And you are correct about those days in TV land. If it weren't for the local news, The History Channel, The Discovery Channel and a few others, a television wouldn't be worth owning for me.

What do I know? I'm just old and cranky about some things. ;)

Yes,Red Skelton was;and still is,a favorite of mine.He could get plenty of laughs without hurting anyone or getting smutty.
I think of him a lot.His "Freddy the Freeloader"wore fingerless gloves.At the time,I thought that they were a joke.Now,I wear them a lot;especially when hunting.

Whenever I can find any of the old TV shows on either Disk or Tape I buy them. We ended up with a nice library of good old Shows and Movies, that the wife and I watch and enjoy more than whats on the BOOB TUBE now.
