Susie's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months. Things looked grim, but she was by his bedside every single day. One day as he slipped back into consciousness, he motioned for her to come close to him. She pulled the chair close to the bed and leaned her ear close to be able to hear him.
ReplyDelete"You know" he whispered, his eyes filling with tears, "you have been with me through all the bad times. When I got fired, you stuck right beside me. When my business went under, there you were. When we lost the house, you were there. When I got shot, you stuck with me. When my health started failing, you were still by my side. "And you know what?"
"What, dear?" she asked gently, smiling to herself.
"I think you're bad luck."
Two women friends were having a chat when the first woman's husband approaches from a block away, coming toward them holding a big bouquet of flowers.
ReplyDeleteSays the first woman to the second: Here comes my husband with a big bouquet. You know what that means? I'll be lying flat on my back with my legs up in the air for a week.
Replies the second woman: What? Don't you have a vase?
I REALLY like the elephant box!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am hopeless at jokes!
