My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.
– Rodney Dangerfield

The Englishman’s, Irishman’s and Scotsman’s wives go shopping one day to a big department store. While they are there a fire breaks out. Everyone in the store is killed, including the three women. Their husbands are summoned to the local police station where a policewoman breaks the news to them: “I’m afraid sirs, that we believe your wives were killed in the fire at the department store.

However the fire was so intense we cannot identify the bodies. Only their handbags survived the blaze. Can you identify your wives’ handbags from these three found in the store?” The three men all look at the handbags and each one is able to identify one of the handbags as belonging to his wife. With all handbags accounted for the policewoman leaves the men to deal with their grief in peace.

The three men sit in silence for a while, then the Englishman opens his wife’s handbag and rummages through the contents, finally pulling out a half-empty packet of cigarettes and says “All these years married and I never knew the old girl smoked.”

The Scotsman looks into his wife’s handbag and pulls out a half-empty bottle of scotch. “Jings, I knew her all that time an ah didnae ken ma missus drank.”

The Irishman empties his wife’s handbag onto the floor, looks through the contents and picks up a half empty packet of condoms. “‘Saints preserve us! All dese years an oi never knew me wife was a man.”

Sam and Becky are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Sam says to Becky, “Becky, I was wondering – have you ever cheated on me?”

Becky replies, “Oh Sam, why would you ask such a question now? You don’t want to ask that question…”

“Yes, Becky, I really want to know. Please…”

“Well, all right. Yes, 3 times…”

“Three? Well, when were they?” he asked.

“Well, Sam, 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, Becky, 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, Sam, 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 the doctor came all the way up here, to do the surgery himself, and then you were in good shape again?”

“I can’t believe it! Becky, you should do such a thing for me, to save my l ife. I couldn’t have a more wonderful wife. To do such a thing, you must really love me darling. I coudn’t be more moved. So, all right then, when was number 3?”

“Well, Sam, remember a few years ago, when you really wanted to be president of the golf club and you were 17 votes short..?”

There was an awful fight at the seafood restaurant. Four fish got battered!
