Testimonials:
A long married couple came upon a wishing well. The wife leaned over, made a wish and threw in a penny.
The husband decided to make a wish too. But he leaned over too much, fell into the well, and drowned.
The wife was stunned for a moment but then smiled, "Wow! This stuff really Works!"
Son: Is it true Dad? I heard that in ancient China , a man doesn't know his wife until he marries her!
Dad: That happens everywhere, son, EVERYWHERE!!!
Last night, my wife and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, 'I never want to
live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluid from a bottle. If that ever happens, just
pull the plug'. She got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my beer! She is such a bitch!
