Unfaithful.
A man is in his final moments of life and asks his wife of fifty years.
‘’Martha, soon I’ll be gone and there’s something I must know,
in all the fifty years of marriage have you ever been unfaithful to me?
Martha replied, ‘’Well, Henry, I must be honest with you, yes, I’ve been
unfaithful three times during these fifty years, but it’s always been for a good reason.’’
Henry was obviously hurt by his wife’s confession,
but he said, ‘’You know what, I never suspected, but could you do me favour and
tell me what you mean by good reasons’’. Martha says,
‘’ Well the first time was shortly after we were married, and we were about
to lose our house because we couldn’t pay the mortgage.
Do you remember that one evening we went to see the banker,
and the next day he notified you that the loan would be extended’’.
Henry recalled the visit to the banker and said,
‘’I can forgive you for that, you saved our home.
‘’What about the second time?’’ Martha said,
‘’Do you remember when you were sick? But we didn’t have the money
to pay for the heart surgery that you needed?’’
‘’Well, I went to see the doctor one night, and
if you recall he did that surgery at no charge.’’
‘’I recall that said Henry and you did that to save my life.
So of course I can forgive you for that.’’
How about the third time?’’
Martha said ‘’Remember when you ran for president of your golf club,
and you needed seventeen more votes?’’
