Hi Guys,

I just got a joke, which I thought I'd slightly modify & share with you

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the old man had a shoe box in the top of his closet that he had cautioned his wife never to open or ask him about..

For all of these years, she had never thought about the box, but one day the old man got very sick and the doctor said he would not recover.

In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old woman took down the shoe box and took it to her husband's bedside.

He agreed that it was time that she should know what was in the box. When she opened it, she found two perfect vintage Omega watches and a stack of money totaling $25,000.

She asked him about the contents.

"When we were to be married," he said, "my father told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. He told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and buy a vintage watch."

The little old woman was so moved; she had to fight back tears. Only two precious watches were in the box. He had only been angry with her two times in all those years of living and loving.

She almost burst with happiness. "Honey," she said, "that explains the watches, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?"

"Oh," he said, "that's the money I made from selling the watches I got bored of."

Don't show your wife this ! :-)
