Big Surprise

"Big Surprise"

Harry was delighted when he found a young woman
who accepted his proposal of marriage as he was
sensitive about his wooden leg and a bit afraid no
one would have him.

In fact, he couldn't bring himself to tell his fiancée'
about his leg when he slipped the ring on her finger,
nor when she bought the dress, nor when they picked
the time and place. All he kept saying was, "Darling,
I've got a big surprise for you," at which she blushed
and smiled bewitchingly.

The wedding night came and went and the young
couple were at last alone in their hotel room. "Now
don't forget, Harry, you promised me a big surprise,"
said the bride.

Unable to say a word, Harry turned out the lights,
unstrapped his wooden leg, slipped into bed, and
placed his wife's hand on the stump.

"Hmmmmmm," she said softly, "That IS a surprise.
But pass me the Vaseline and I'll see what I can do!"
