    Default Good for a Laugh

    I adore a good joke so I thought I'd share:

    With a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary at the church's marriage marathon, the minister asked Brother John to take a few minutes and share some insight into how he managed to live with the same woman all these years.

    The husband replied to the audience "Well, I treatd her with respect, spent money on her, but mostly I took her traveling on special occasions." The minister inquired as to where he had taken her.

    "For our 25th anniversary, I took her to Beijing, China."

    The minister then said, "What a terrific example you are to all husbands, John. Please tell the audience what you're going to do for your wife on your 50th anniversary."

    Brother John replied "I'm going to go get her."

    Damned, I understand all of that except the last sentence. The most important of the joke! Sometimes I hate to be a German.

    EF - You do a great job communicating on this board. I can assure you that your English is better than some Americans. I wish I could speak German as fluently as you speak English. Any time you need help with the language, do not hesitate to ask. I admire you for coming here. I definately couldn't participate on a German speaking message board.

    Same here. I'm terrible with languages and I always am impressed by people who can communicate so well in a language besides their native one. Even people who haven't mastered the language but are brave enough to try impress me, as I would have such a hard time with it!

    Thank you all for your compliments.
    Sometimes I have problems to use the right words in your common speech. In our company we use business english and that's a bit different. I've never written in a letter "holy crap" or "to drool"
    When I don't know a word I have to look in the dic and there are various translations so it could be that I choose a strange one.

    Thanks Maleah for your explanation.

    EF, I second what everyone else has said

    Great joke, Z. That one made me giggle. I have one for you. It's more of a story than a joke, but it made me gasp then laugh. Can you imagine this happening to you?

    While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to
    release some pent-up energy and started to run amuck I
    was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of
    disgust and annoyance from other patrons. I told her that if she didn't
    start behaving herself right now, she would be punished.
    To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in
    a voice just as threatening, 'if you don't let me go right now,
    I'll tell Grandma I saw you kissing Daddy's willie last
    night'. After this enlightening exchange, the silence was
    deafening.Even the tellers stopped what they were doing. I
    mustered the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank, with my
    daughter in tow. The last thing I heard as the door shut behind me were
    screams of laughter.

    I hope it's not too rude
