An elderly couple were having dinner one evening when the husband reached across the table, took his wife's hand in his and said,

 

"Martha, soon we will be married 50 years, and there's something

I have to know. In all of these 50 years, have you ever been

unfaithful to me?"

  

 

Martha replied, "Well Henry, I have to be honest with you. Yes,

I've been unfaithful to you on three occasions during these

50 years, but always for a good reason.

 

Henry was obviously hurt by his wife's confession, but said,

"I never suspected. Can you tell me what you mean by

'good reasons?' "

 

Martha said, "The first time was shortly after we were married,

and we were about to lose our little house because we couldn't

pay the mortgage. Do you remember that evening I went to see

the banker and the next day he notified you that the loan would

be extended?”

 

      

 

Henry recalled the visit to the banker and said, "I can forgive

youfor that. You saved our home, but what about the

second time?"

 

Martha asked, "Do you remember when you were so sick,

but we didn't have the money to pay for the heart surgery

you needed? Well, I went to see your doctor one night and,

if you recall, he did the surgery at no charge."

 

  

  I recall that," said Henry. "And you did it to save my life, so ofcourse

I can forgive you for that. Now tell me about the third time."

 

"All right," Martha said. "So do you remember when you ran for

president of your golf club, and you needed 53 more votes?”
