Since it's not often (especially in this day and age) that anyone stays married very long, he was very touched and took it upon himself to find the lucky Mr. Brown and congratulate him personally for taking the trouble to make the marriage work for that long of a time. Mr. Brown looked down at the floor and began to weep. "Why, what's wrong?", asked the man. "Well, let me tell you a story.", said Mr. Brown. "When my wife and I had been married for just 15 years, I hated my wife so much that I almost shot her! But what made me hold back was the thought that they'd throw me in jail for fifty years." "But why are you crying ... you should be glad that things worked out so well!" "But if I had shot her, I'd be a free man today!" -- Brian Weis ...!{hplabs,ihnp4,sun}!amdahl!bew "Mine, all mine!
