A Man and a woman are married. Although it is the first time for the husband, it is the woman's fourth marriage. As they go to bed on their wedding night, the wife says to her husband: "Dear, there's something I must tell you. I'm a virgin" Naturally, the husband is surprised. "You've been married three times before!", he says, "How can you still be a virgin?" "Well, it's all quite simple. My first marriage was what they call a 'Marriage of Convenience'. My husband was very old, and died shortly after the wedding, and thus the marriage was never consumated. My second husband was a fine young man, but in a horrible tradgedy, he was hit by a truck and killed as we left the church. "My third husband", she explained, "was a computer programmer." "What's so odd about that?", he asked. "Why would you still be a virgin after a marriage to a programmer?" "Well", she said, "all he did was sit on the edge of the bed and tell me how great it was going to be." - Brad Templeton ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
