Couples who have lived together a long time have their own way of communicating.
A woman overheard her aunt and uncle one day:
"What are you looking for in that closet?" she asked.
"Nothing," he answered.
"Well, it's not in there. Look under the bed."
One man was downing drinks faster than usual when the man on the barstool next to him said, "What's wrong?"
The first man said, "I'm drinking to the memory of my wife. She was a saint on earth. She went to church every single morning, spent her days reading and quoting the Scriptures, sang hymns and psalms all evening, filled our house with religious statues and paintings, and invited priests and nuns to dinner three times a week."
"She sounds like an angel," the second man commented, "I suppose the good Lord took her early to Himself."
"No," the first man replied. "I strangled her."
"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for."
