Charlie says to Audrey, "Audrey, I was wondering, have you
ever cheated on me?"
Audrey replies, "Oh Charlie, why would you ask such a
question now? You don't want to ask that question..."
"Yes, Audrey, I really want to know. Please..."
"Well, all right. Yes, 3 times..."
"Three? Well, when were they?" he asked.
"Well, Charlie, remember when you were 35 years old and you
really wanted to start the business on your own and no bank
would give you a loan? Remember, then one day the bank
president himself came over the house and signed the loan
papers, no questions asked?"
"Oh, Audrey, you did that for me! I respect you even more
than ever, to do such a thing for me. So, when was number 2?"
"Well, Charlie, remember when you had that last heart attack
and you were needing that very tricky operation, and no
surgeon would touch you? Then remember how Dr. DeBakey came
all the way up here, to do the surgery himself, and then you
were in good shape again?"
"I can't believe it! Audrey, you should do such a thing for
me, to save my life. I couldn't have a more wonderful wife
To do such a thing, you must really love me darling. I
couldn't be more moved. So, all right then, when was number
3?"
"Well, Charlie, remember a few years ago, when you really
wanted to be president of the golf club and you were 17 votes
short..?"
