The happy couple:
A couple has been married for over 50 years and are the talk of the town. Everyone talks about how peaceful their relationship is.
So at the 50th anniversary of the marriage, the local reporter goes to them to learn the secret behind their love.
Well, the old man replies, that takes me back to our honeymoon.
We made a trip trough the grand canyon on mules. We were going along just fine, until my wife's mule tripped. She got up, dusted herself up and said "first time!". I though that was strange, but she climbed into the saddle again and we continued. 2 days later, the mule tripped again. Followed by my honey saying "second time!". And later that week, the poor creature tripped again. My wife calmly said "third time!" but didn't get back in the saddle. Instead she pulled out this huge gun and shot the mule trough the head!
I was outraged! I yelled at her: "what the hell are you thinking, treating that animal like that!"
She looked me straight into the eye and said "first time!"
And we've been happy ever since...
