A woman awakens during the night to find that her husband is not
in bed.
She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him.
She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a glass of scotch
in front of him.
He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall.
She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip.
"What's the matter, dear?" she asks tenderly as she steps into the
room.
"Why are you down here at this time of night?"
The husband looks up from his drink. "Do you remember when we were
first
dating, we were so young?" he asks.
"Yes, I do," she replies. The husband continues, his voice =
brimming with emotion.
"Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my
car making love?"
"Yes, I remember," says the wife, lowering herself into a chair =
beside him.
The husband continues. "Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun
in my face and said, "Either you marry my daughter, or I'll see that you
go to jail for 30 years?'"
"I remember that," she replies softly, taking his hand.
He wipes a tear from his cheek and says,
"I would have gotten out today."
