Good day kittens and dawgs! In honor of my parents 56th wedding anniversary I thought I share marriage giggles.
The below joke I found at an internet source and decided to change the anniversary year to match my parents’ and to remove a curse word. 😀
Once upon a time, a married couple like me, celebrated their 56th marriage anniversary with a lot of fun & flair.
They had become the ‘most infamous couple’ of the city for not having a single conflict during their period of 56 long years! Local newspaper editors too had gathered at the occasion to find out the secret of their well talked about “happy go lucky married life”.
Editor: “Sir, it is amazingly unbelievable. How did you make this possible? Please share your thoughts and experiences for the well-being of the society!”
Husband recalling his old honeymoon days said: “Well, we had been to Napa Valley for our honeymoon after marriage. Having selected the horse riding finally, we both started the ride on different horses. My horse was pretty okay, but the horse on which my wife was riding, seemed to be a crazy one. On the way ahead, that horse jumped suddenly, making my wife topple over. Recovering her position from the ground, she patted the horse’s back and said “This is your first time”!
She again climbed the horse and continued with the ride. After a while, it happened again. This time, she again kept calm and said “This is your second time” and continued.
When the horse dropped her the third time, she silently took out the gun from the purse and shot the horse dead!!
I could not resist & shouted at my wife: “What the heck did you do, you psycho! You simply killed the poor animal. Are you gone crazy?”
She gave a silent look and in a cool, composed posture, she said: “This is your first time”!!!
And, then after we have lived happily… No arguments, No quarrels, No pity fights!”
Husband concluded: “That’s it. We are happy ever after”.
Please share your funny post with me (and others) by leaving a direct link in comments. Now, I invite you to email me your giggles (funny picture, joke, video, song, …). If it makes you laugh then I want to see it! In the subject line say Friday Sillies and if I use it, then I’ll add a back link to your site.
Got laughs? Share your giggles!
Let’s continue the fun with Friendly Fill-Ins!
McGuffy Ann is hosting the Friendly Fill-Ins (click button to visit McGuffy) with Ellen from 15andmeowing. Every Thursday, she posts four fun and easy blank statements for us to borrow, complete, and post on our site. The point is to simply have fun linking, reading, and meeting others who enjoy this sort of thing.
Here’s my response to this week’s fill-ins
(1) I wish one of the major networks would bring back Kiefer Sutherland as “Jack Bauer” in the TV series 24. I just loved, loved, loved that show!
(2) An act of kindness that I do often is prayer for others. I don’t know, if that’s an act of kindness or just an act of love.
(3) I still have the rocking chair my grandparents gave me from my childhood. (The rocker was hand-crafted by a great-uncle. He use to make furniture. I passed it to our oldest daughter, but it’s tucked safely in storage until she might need it. It looks a lot like the rocker below.)
(4) If I didn’t have my iPhone , I’d be completely lost. (Maybe not completely lost, but I’d feel terribly awkward without it.)
You’re invited to join the Friendly Fill-ins linky party!
I’m joining Lexa in Celebrate The Small Things. Here’s my list of celebrations!
I’m celebrating my parents’ 56th anniversary. They have proven that wiggling through the thorns of a relationship yields an abundant life of goodness together instead of apart. It’s easy to give up, but it takes work to keep a marriage working. I celebrate the difficult and the good years of my parents’ years because without either they wouldn’t have the understanding that they do today to offer the valuable lessons learned. We say impossible, God say’s I’m possible.
What are you celebrating?
See what others are celebrating this week below and if you want to join the linky, then visit Lexa!

The weekend is just starting, so I invite y’all to hop back tomorrow for some mewsic with Saturday Songsuasion!
Have a super funtastic Friday! ?

You have such nice posts, Cathy. Even when I don’t comment, I do read them. Thank you. HUGS.
Thank you for being a part of Friendly Fill-Ins. With Summer coming to a close, I plan to get back to my usual routine. I will be going back to Mayo Clinic this Fall, so hope to get some resolution for my health issues, too. I appreciate your patience and understanding. Hugs.

Agoney for fifty years? Oh my! That is too funny. So is the one about Dig Coffin. And the horse joke. All good stuff. My parents had their 50th this year. Not sure what their secret is…
Tamara, yeah that’s a priceless wedding anniversary announcement! The secret to long marriage is dedication to ride out the rough patches to better days. It’s easy to throw in the towel, but sticking at it takes lots of work. 🙂
Happy Anniversary to your parents — that is amazing!! What a blessing to have such a steady and true influence in your life. My grandparents had over 60 years together before my grandfather passed first.
You always find the best jokes!! LOL
And praying for someone is probably one of the kindest things you can do. It’s completely selfless.
Les, My grandparents were married for more than 60 years before my grandpa died. They are both in heaven now. My in-laws were also married for 60+ years before my MIL passed two years ago. My folks invited us to dinner in the town they got married in north of Knoxville about two and half hours. It was great fun to share in their celebrations. Glad you enjoyed the funnies! 😉
This was cute. If the story was about my child-bride Suzanne and me, I would have used up my three chances years ago.
David, Well, she must not be as bad as the woman in the joke because you’re still here to throw in your two cents. lol Count yourself one of the lucky ones. 🙂
For now.
LOL!
Happy Anniversary to your parents and here’s to many, many more!
What a precious treasure that rocker is. Whoever is in line for it is receiving something priceless on many levels.
It’s a good thing the man in your story is a quick learner. haha
Have a blessed weekend!
Suzanne, that rocker of mine was kept by my grandparents for eons until I asked for it, but many of their grandkids enjoyed rocking in it. I bet they wondered what became of it and may not have known who owed it. I’m the first grandchild and the next oldest is like 4 or 5 years younger than me. This cousin lived near the Virginia coast, so I didn’t see him much and he was close in age to my brother. They were good buddies. The youngest grandkid is 15 or 16 years young than me. I sorta felt more like an aunt to most of cousins because of the age difference. Anywho, I gave the rocker to DD#1 one Christmas. The year she got her rocker, we bought a rocker for DD#2. They loved rocking their baby dolls together. It was so cute. I have picture of them on Christmas morning sitting in them. I will have to find it and share it. 🙂
It sounds like your rocker has known lots of love and fun along the way. I would love to see the photo of your girls in their rockers. 🙂
I had a little red wooden rocker when I was a little girl. I don’t know at what point I got it. One day my daddy tried to sit in it. I don’t know if he was just intending to be silly cutting up or if he was drunk, but he broke it. Such is life.
Most of my first cousins and I are relatively close in age. There was one born in the late 1950s and a couple born in the early 1970s, but over all we are all 60s babies. The one born in the late 50s none of us have ever met. He was born in Germany when one of my uncles was in the Army. My uncle came back from Germany, but the child and his mother did not.
Thanks for sharing your rocker story with us. Have a blessed day. 🙂
Suzanne, By the time I got my rocker back I can tell it had been mended quite a bit and was in need of painting. Before we gave it to DD#1, DH sanded it down and fixed the uneven mends before repainting it. He did a great job. It could use another paint job now, but I’m going to wait before doing that. I thought, if we ever get the extra space then it would be nice to have it out on display with my Teddies sitting in it. 🙂
Aww That would be sweet! My mother-in-law has dolls all over her house and some of them are sitting in rocking chairs, too. 🙂
Huge congrats to your parents for their 56th Anniversary!! I loved the funnies! I also wish TV were better, but I wish for oldies, like Frasier, Friends, Quincy, McMillan & Wife and Buffy. It’s lovely you pray for people and keep that handmade rocking chair for your daughter. I hope you never lose that iPhone!
Lexa, thank you for the anniversary congrats for my parents. You have a nice list of oldies to return, too. I often thought it would be cool, if they brought Buffy back; except they use Buffy’s daughter as the new vampire slayer. Perhaps, they could use Sarah Michelle Gellar in the series prominently in the beginning and then more in the background as the show develops. I’d also like to see the return of Angel with Angel and Cordelia married and some of the other cast like Angel’s son who could have his own child to battle the foes of evil. They really left that show up in the air making you think they’d do a return someday. Okay, it’s been someday. Let’s see it! I was telling Ellen (Friendly Fill-ins) after reading her responses that I have no idea why I didn’t say DH because I’d really be lost without him. The phone can be replaced, but DH never! Thanks for stopping by for a visit. Have a good weekend!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Jeanne, you have a purrfect weekend, too!
56 years is an amazing achievement. My parents made it to 40 years before my father’s untimely death. I figure that if I can make it to age 96 and my wife is still hanging in there then we’ll make it to 50 years of marriage. It’s possible!

Lee, We are living longer these days, so yeah it’s possible for you to celebrate your Golden Anniversary. That would be awesome!
Happy Anniversary to your parents! 56 years is amazing. I love the joke about holding hands in the mall 🙂 Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. Praying for people is both an act of kindness and love, very sweet too 🙂 I wish 24 would come back too- it was a great show even the last season when it was shorter. Have a nice weekend!
Ellen, thanks for the anniversary wishes for my folks. I’m glad the marriage humor tickled your funny bone, especially the “holding hands in the mall” one. You’re a 24 fan, too. I read an older article yesterday where Kiefer said he’s moving on without 24, but he gave me the feeling like it’s possible that the show might pick up at some point. That’s okay by me, if they do the show right. I think they need another Jack Bauer like character, but it has to be a man. In today’s TV series everyone is featuring these ridiculously crazy macho behaving women and that’s such a super turn off. First off, it’s totally unrealistic and second it’s SO unfeminine. I hate it when movies and TV shows depict women acting like men. What this is really telling women is, men are better than women so be a man! Okay, I’ll get off my soapbox. lol I appreciate your visit and I’ll be by to see you soon!
