Marriage or Prison
A woman woke in the
middle of the night to find her husband missing from their bed. In the
stillness of the house, she could hear a muffled sound downstairs. She
went downstairs and looked around, still not finding her husband.
Listening
again, she could definitely hear moaning. She went down to the basement
where she finally found her husband crouched in the corner facing the
wall, sobbing.
"What's
wrong with you?" she asked him.
"Remember
when your father caught us having sex when you were sixteen?" he
replied. "And remember he said I had two choices: I could either
marry you, or spend the next twenty years in prison."
Baffled,
she said, "Yes, I remember, so what?"
The
husband sobbed, "I would have gotten out today."
