Aunt Emma

"Ceremony"

Ken and Meg had finished their breakfast at the retirement
home and were relaxing in the library.

"You know," said Meg, "today, in most marriage
ceremonies, they don't do them like they used to.
For instance, they don't use the word 'obey' anymore."

"Too bad, isn't it?" retorted Ken. "It used to lend a little
humor to the occasion."

*******************************

"Aunt Emma"

A couple's happily married life almost went on
the rocks because of the presence in their
household of old Aunt Emma.

For seventeen long years she lived with them,
always crotchety, always demanding.

Eventually, the old girl passed away.

On the way back from the cemetery, the husband
confesses to his wife,
"Darling, if I didn't love you so much , I don't think
I would of have put up with having your Aunt Emma
in our house all those years!"

His wife looked at him aghast.

"Huh? My Aunt Emma!?" she cried. "I thought she
was *your* Aunt Emma!"
