The bride and I have been married for 46 years and from day one we have always had fun mostly with two liners at each other. We have laughed at ourselves mostly. Some of ones we both like are:
Someone will say married for 46 years! Answer: well, we go out for dinner twice a week, she goes on Tuesday I go on Thursday.
Or I gave my wife a MasterCard, she lost the darn card. I did not say anything because the lady that found it spends less than she does.
Nice one we did in the Villages: The waitress points to the two specials on the board: Wife says I will have the Chicken Wrap. Waitress looks at me with ??? I say to the wife, what can I have? Waitress looks at me with a puzzled look. I say to the waitress she doesn't let me order: Guess what happened when we got the check? we were only charged for one meal, my meal was compliments of the house. The manager came out and simply wanted to meet us. It is not what you say it is the way you do it.
We do alot of fishing, one afernoon, the wife was standing up in the boat, reeling in the fish, the rod was bent over real good. She was also well bent over with her behind staring at me: She says with a strong voice: I 've got a big one! I took a photo of her back end and printed a photo. Til today we both look at the photo and laugh.
We focus on laughing at ourselves. Noone gets angry or insulted and it makes for a great frame work for great conversation as others will start telling stories about themselves that are funny.
It is rewarding to meet someone you know and the first thing you are greeted with is a big laugh! Pain and suffering is easier to deal with as you can be serious as well.
