An elderly couple, married for better than 50 years, is sitting down for breakfast when the wife announces that she has had it and wants a divorce. Bewildered the husband asks what he has done to cause this. She says she doesn’t want to discuss it and that it is over between the two of them.
Upon filing for the divorce the clerk of the court states that their family law requires that the couple seek counseling prior to continuance of the process and suggests a local agency.
Sitting in the room with the counselor the question of what caused the sudden desire to divorce after such a long and apparently successful marriage. The husband responds that he has no clue as to why his wife wants to end the relationship. The wife then blurts out, “There are two reasons why I just can’t take it any more. The first is that you are always picking your nose. No matter where we are or who we are with you just dig in and scrape around. The second is our sex, all you ever want to do is the missionary position and frankly it is boring.”
The counselor says that is understandable and asks the husband if he is willing to change. The husband says, “Well I don’t know if I can do that as I made a promise to my Pappy a long time ago and have lived by his words ever since.” The counselor somewhat confused asked the old man what those words were.
The husband said, “Well, my Pappy said that if I was going to be successful in life there are two things that you must always do. Keep your nose clean and don’t screw up.”
