THE BOTTLE OF WINE
For all of us who are married, were married, wish you were married, or wish you
weren't married,
This is something to smile about the next time you see a bottle of wine:
Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona when
she saw an elderly
Navajo woman walking on the side of the road.
As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo
woman if she would like a ride.
With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car.
Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the
Navajo woman. The old
woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every
little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to
Sally.
'What in bag?', asked the old woman.
Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, 'It's a bottle of wine. I got it
for my husband.'
The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the
quiet wisdom of an elder, she said:
'Good trade.....'
Husband: a man who buys his football tickets four months in advance and waits
until December 24 to do his Christmas shopping.
If it's true that girls are inclined to marry men like their fathers, it is
understandable why so many mothers cry so much at weddings.
Marriage is not a word. It is a sentence--a life sentence.
Marriage is very much like a violin; after the sweet music is over, the strings
are attached.
Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore, marriage is an institution for the
blind.
Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his Bachelor's Degree and the
woman gets her Masters.
Marriage is a thing which puts a ring on a woman's finger and two under the
man's eyes.
Marriage certificate is just another word for a work permit.
Marriage is not just a having a wife, but also worries inherited forever.
Marriage requires a man to prepare 4 types of "rings":
* The Engagement Ring
* The Wedding Ring
* The Suffe-Ring
* The Endu-Ring
Don't marry for money; you can borrow it cheaper
All marriages are happy--it's the living together afterward that causes all the
problems
A little boy, at a wedding looks at his mom and says, "Mommy, why does the
girl wear white?"
His mom replies, "The bride is in white because she's happy and this is the
happiest day of her life."
The boy thinks about this, and then says, "Well then, why is the boy wearing
black?"
If it's true that girls are inclined to marry men like their fathers, it is
understandable why so many mothers cry so much at weddings.
HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?

You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she
should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip
