A couple was celebrating their
golden wedding anniversary ...
... . Their domestic tranquility had long
been the talk of the town, "What a peaceful and loving couple."
A local newspaper reporter was inquiring
as to the secret of their long and happy marriage.
"Well, it dates back to our honeymoon,"
explained the man. "We visited the Grand Canyon and took a trip
down to the bottom of the canyon by pack mule. We hadn't gone
too far when my wife's mule stumbled. My wife quietly said,
'That's once.'
We proceeded a little further and the
mule stumbled again. Once more my wife quietly said, 'That's
twice.'
We hadn't gone a half-mile when the mule
stumbled the third time. My wife quietly removed a revolver from
her purse and shot the mule dead.
I started an angry protest over her
treatment of the mule, when she looked at me, and quietly said,
'That's once.'
And we lived happily ever after."
