DO MEN REMEMBER ANNIVERSARIES?* *

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband
was not in their bed.

She puts on her dressing gown and goes downstairs to look
for him.

She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup
of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought,
just staring at the wall.

She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip
of his coffee.

'What's the matter, dear?' she whispers as she
steps into the room. 'Why are you down here at this time
of night?

The husband looks up from his coffee, 'I am just
remembering when we first met 20 years ago and started
dating. You were only 16. Do you remember back then?' he
says solemnly.

The wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is
so caring, so sensitive.

Yes, I do' she replies.

The husband pauses. The words were not coming easily.
'Do you remember when your father caught us in the back
seat of my car?'

'Yes, I remember!' said the wife, lowering herself
into a chair beside him.

The husband continues. 'Do you remember when he shoved
the shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my
daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years?'

'I remember that too' she replies softly.

He wipes another tear from his cheek and says...

'I would have been released today.'
