His wife suddenly looks across at him and speaks in a clear voice. \u201cI know we have been married for over twenty years, but I want a divorce.\u201d The husband says nothing. He keeps looking at the road ahead but slowly increases his speed to 45mph. The wife speaks again. \u201cI don\u2019t want you to try to talk me out of it.\u201d She says, \u201cBecause I\u2019ve been seeing your best friend, and he understands me better.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Again the husband stays quiet but grips the steering wheel more tightly and slowly increases the speed to 55mph. She pushes her luck. \u201cI want a house,\u201d she says insistently. Up to 60 mph. \u201cI want the car, too,\u201d she continues. 65mph. \u201cAnd,\u201d she says, \u201cI\u2019ll have the bank accounts, all the credit cards, and the boat!\u201d The car slowly starts veering towards a massive concrete bridge. This makes her nervous, so she asks him, \u201cIsn\u2019t there anything you want?\u201d The husband at last replies in a quiet and controlled voice. \u201cNo, I\u2019ve got everything I need,\u201d he says. \u201cOh, really,\u201d she inquires. \u201cSo what have you got?\u201d Just before they slam into the wall at 65mph, the husband turns to her and smiles. \u201cThe airbag!\u201d LOL!! Hope this joke will make you smile! <\/p>\n<p>Have a nice day!! A married couple in their early 60s was out celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant. Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table and said, \u201cFor being such an exemplary married couple and for being faithful to each other all this time, I will grant you each a wish.\u201d \u201cOoh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband,\u201d said the wife. The fairy moved her magic wand and \u2013 abracadabra! \u2013 two tickets for the new QM2 luxury liner appeared in her hands. Now it was the husband\u2019s turn. He thought for a moment and said, \u201cWell, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this only occurs once in a lifetime, so, I\u2019m sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me.\u201d The wife and the fairy were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish\u2026 So the fairy made a circle with her magic wand and \u2013 abracadabra! \u2013 the husband was 92 years old. LOL!! Hope this joke will make you smile! Have a nice day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The husband is behind the wheel.
