4th Feb 2012 The Bride, The Wife & The Bet

The bride in white ~

Cindy was just 9 years old, this was the third wedding she had been to that summer. She turned to her mother and asked:
"Mom, why is the bride always wearing a beautiful white dress?"
"Oh, that baby, is because it's the happiest day of her life."
"Is the groom unhappy? He is wearing a black suit!"

To know your wife ~

Pete, aged 9 years: Is it true? Dad, I heard that in China, a man doesn't know his wife until he marries.
Roger, his father: That happens everywhere, son, everywhere! 

 

The bet ~

A couple is sitting in front of the Television watching the six O' clock news. The headline feature is a man who is threatening to jump off the Clifton Suspension Bridge onto the busy A4 below. 

She turns to him and says 'I bet you £100 that he jumps.'
He replies ' £100! Done.' 

The pair shakes on it and continue watching the commotion on the TV, sure enough, the man jumps and hits the road below with a loud thud.
He takes £000 out of his pocket and gives it to her.

'I can't take that from you.' she says. 'I was cheating. I saw the Five O' clock News earlier so I Knew what was going to happen. I can't accept that money.' 

He replies, 'No Babe. The money is yours fair and square. I was cheating too. I just didn't think he would do it again.'
