Reply to "When your over 60."

An elderly couple were celebrating their golden wedding anniversary on the beaches in Montego Bay, Jamaica. She was 71, and he was 75. Over the years their long marriage and domestic tranquility had become the talk of the town. People would say, "What a peaceful & loving couple"

The local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and happy marriage.

The Husband replied: "Well, it dates back to our honeymoon in America; we visited the Grand Canyon, in Arizona, and took a trip down to the bottom of the canyon, by horseback. We hadn't gone too far when my wife's horse stumbled and she almost fell off. My wife looked down at the horse and quietly said, "That's once"."

"We proceeded a little further and her horse stumbled again. For a second time she looked down at that horse and quietly said, "That's twice"."

"We hadn't journeyed a half-mile when the horse stumbled for the third time. My wife dismounted, quietly removed a revolver from her purse, and shot the horse dead."

I shouted at her, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, WOMAN! WHY DID YOU SHOOT THE POOR ANIMAL LIKE THAT? ARE YOU CRAZY"!?"

"She looked at ME, and quietly said, "That's once"."

"And from that moment we have lived happily every after."
