"I am." is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I Do." is the longest sentence?

         I see all the amateurs came in on this thread. After 53 years if nothing else we have both got our sense of humor. It helps a lot.
         Admittedly they are two different senses, mine very much Aussie male and Margaret who has a Germanic heritage is generally directed at me when the common minor disasters hit , like falling off a ladder or getting tangled up in her rose bushes.

I think my husband would agree with you that I am the warden. But I always think that he is the warden.

        A woman was shopping at her local supermarket where she selected:
A half-gallon of 2% milk, a carton of eggs, a litre of orange juice, a head of romaine lettuce, a 2 Kg. can of coffee, and a 1 Kg. package of bacon.
As she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk standing behind her watched as she placed the items in front of the cashier.
While the cashier was ringing up her purchases, the drunk calmly stated," You must be single."
The woman was a bit startled by this proclamation, but she was intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since she was indeed single.
She looked at her six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about her selections that could have tipped off the drunk to her marital status.
Curiosity getting the better of her, she said "Well, you know what, you're absolutely correct. But how on earth did you know that?"
The drunk replied, "'Cause you're ugly"

And what did the "late" drunk leave in his will?

That's what I was asking. I know he died instantly when he said that to her.

   Took awhile to sink in Wally as our reply is usually did she get charged for murder !

No charges, it would be justifiable homicide.    :angry:   :cool:

There was this Wally who lives in Australia went to the police station and asked to speak to the burglar who had broken into his house the previous night.

'You'll get your chance in court,' the desk Sergeant Kelly told him.

'I have to know how he got into the house without waking my wife,' pleaded Wally. 'I've been trying to do that for years.'
