The Secret To a Happy Marriage

A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary on the beach in Jamaica. Their domestic tranquility had been the talk of the town. "What a peaceful & loving couple". The local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and happy marriage.

"Well, it dates back to our honeymoon in Arizona, " explained the man. "We visited the Grand Canyon in Arizona and took a trip down to the bottom of the canyon by horse.

We hadn't gone too far when my wife's horse stumbled and she almost fell off. My wife looked down at the horse and gently told the horse, "That's once." "We proceeded a little further and the horse stumbled again, this time causing her to drop her water. Once more my wife quietly said, "That's twice." We hadn't gone a half-mile when the horse stumbled for a third time.

My wife quietly removed a revolver from her purse and shot the horse dead. I shouted at her, "What's wrong with you, Woman! Why did you shoot the poor animal like that? Are you CRAZY ?!?" She looked straight into my eyes with the gun still smoking and quietly said, "That's once." "And from that moment... we have lived happily ever after."
