A man is on his deathbed so he asks his wife, “Martha, soon I will be gone forever, and there’s something I have to know. In all these 50 years of our marriage, have you ever been unfaithful to me?”
Martha replied, “ Well, Henry, I have to be honest with you. Yes I’ve been unfaithful to you three times on those 50 years, but always for a good reason.”
Henry was obviously hurt by his wife’s confession but said ,” I never suspected you, can you tell me what you mean by “good reasons?”
Martha said, “ The first time was shortly after we were married, and we were about to lose our house because we couldn’t pay the mortgage. Do you remember that one evening when I went to see a banker, and the next day he notified you that the loan would be extended?”
Henry recalled the visit to the banker and said, “ I can forgive you for that because you saved our house, but what about the second time?”
Martha asked, “ and do you remember when you were so sick and we don’t have money to pay for the heart surgery you that you needed? Well, I went to see your doctor one night, and in three days he did a surgery for free.”
“ I recall that, “ said Henry. “ And you did it to save my life, so of course, I can forgive you for that.” Now tell me the third time.”
“Alright,” Martha said, do you remember when you ran for president of your golf club and you needed 73 more votes?”
