50th Anniversary

Bill and Barbara went out for dinner to celebrate their 50th anniversary. After a couple of glasses of wine, Bill asks Barbara, "have you ever cheated during our marriage?"

"No, of course not."

"If you had, it's okay" said Bill, "I just wanted to know."

"Well..."

"Well, what?"

"Well" said Barbara "remember way back 28 years ago when you thought you would get laid off from that development company you were working for?"

"Yes, I remember and I was sure glad they kept me on."

"Well....I paid a little visit to your boss and, if you remember, everyone got laid off but you."

"You didn't..."

"Yes, I did, but it was for you!"

"Well....okay, but were there any others?"

"Well.....do you remember 10 years ago when you needed heart bypass surgery and the only qualified surgeon in the area, Dr. Anderson, was completely booked and wouldn't take you?"

"Yes, but...."

"So.. .I talked him into taking you."

"You mean you..."

"It saved your life!"

"Okay, I guess I can see that, but... .were there any others?"

"No, no, no."

"Are you sure?"

"Well

"What, what, what?!?!"

"Well......do you remember when you were running for president of the local chapter of the Real Estate Board.....and you were only 27 votes short."
