An elderly couple are sitting around one evening and the man says to his wife, "Marsha, we are about to celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary. We've had a wonderful life together, full of contentment and blessings. But there's something I've always wondered about. Tell me the truth. Have You ever been unfaithful to me?"

She hesitated a moment, then said, "Yes, Sidney , three times."

"Three times? How could that happen?" Sidney asked.

Marsha replied, "Well, do you remember right after we were married and we were so broke that the bank was about to foreclose on our little house?"

"Yes, dear, those were really difficult times," replied Sidney

"And remember when I went to see the banker one night, and the next day the bank extended our loan?"

"Gosh, that's really hard to take," said Sidney. "But since things were so bad at the time, I guess I can forgive you. What was the second time?"

"Well," Marsha continued, "Do you remember years later when you almost died of that heart problem because we couldn't afford an operation?"

"Yes, of course," said Sidney.

"Then you will remember that right after I went to see the doctor, he
performed the operation at no cost?"

"Yes, I remember," said Sidney. "And as much as that shocks me, I do
understand that you did what you did out of love for me, so I forgive you.

"So, what was the third time?"

"Do you remember when you ran for president of your golf club and you needed 62 more votes?"

Funny! But I would have preferred him to have a name other than 'Sidney'.... '-)
