A couple were having dinner one evening when the husband reached across the table, took his wife's hand in his and said, “Beth, soon we will be married 30 years, and there's something I have to know. In all of these 30 years, have you ever been unfaithful to me?”
Beth replied, “Well Charles, I have to be honest with you. Yes, I've been unfaithful to you three times during these 30 years, but always for a good reason.”
Charles was obviously hurt by his wife's confession, but said, “Beth, I never suspected. Can you tell me what you mean by ‘good reasons’?”
Beth said, “The very 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 one evening I went to see the banker and the next day he notified you that the loan would be extended?”
Charles recalled the visit to the banker and said, “I can forgive you for that.You saved our home, but what about the second time?”
Beth asked, “And 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 do recall that,” says Chuck, “And you did it to save my life, so of course I can forgive you for that. Now tell me about the third time.”
“All right,” Beth said, “So do you remember when you ran for president of your golf club, and you needed 43 more votes.”
Quote Of The Day: Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, in Paradise there is a market the people will come to every Friday. The north wind will blow and scatter fragrance on their faces and clothes and will add to their beauty and loveliness. They will return to their families having been increased in beauty and loveliness. Their families will say: By Allah, you have increased in beauty and loveliness after leaving us. They will say: By Allah, you have increased in beauty and loveliness after we have returned.” Source: Sahih Muslim 2833 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Imam Muslim
