A couple was having dinner one evening when the husband reached across the table, took his wife’s hand, and said, “Beth, soon we will be married for 30 years, and there’s something I have to know. In all these 30 years have you ever been unfaithful to me?”
Beth replied, “Well Charles, I have to be honest with you. Yes, I’ve been unfaithful to you three times these 30 years, but always for a good reason.”
Charles was obviously hurt by his wife’s confession but said, “I never suspected. Can you tell me what you mean by good reasons?”
Beth said, “The very first time was shortly after we married, and we were about to lose our little house because we couldn’t’ pay the mortgage. Do you remember that one evening I went to see the banker and the next day he notified you that the loan would be extended. Well I did what I had to do.”
Charles recalled the visit to the banker and said, “I can forgive you for that. You saved our home, but what about the second time?”
Beth answered, “And do you remember when you were so sick, but we didn’t have the money to pay for the heart surgery you needed?” Well, I went to see your doctor one night and, if you recall, he did the surgery at no charge. I did what I had to do.”
“I recall that”, he said. “And you did it to save my life so of course I can forgive you for that. Now tell me about the third time.”
“All right, Beth said. “So do you remember when you ran for President of the golf club, and you needed 73 more votes?"
