A very elderly couple is having an elegant dinner to celebrate their 75th wedding anniversary.
The old man leans forward and says softly to his wife, "Dear, there is something that I must ask you. It has always bothered me that our tenth child never quite looked like the rest of our children.
Now I want to assure you that these 75 years have been the most wonderful experience I could have ever hoped for, and your answer cannot take all that away.
But, I must know, did he have a different father?"
The wife drops her head, unable to look her husband in the eye, she pauses for a moment and then confesses. "Yes. Yes, he did."
The old man is very shaken, the reality of what his wife was admitting hit him harder than he had expected.
With a tear in his eye, he asks "Who? Who was he? Who was the father?"
Again the old woman drops her head, saying nothing at first as she tries to muster the courage to tell the truth to her husband.
Then, finally, she says, "You".
HAHAHAHA! Well, one out of ten is better than nothing!
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteMy suspicious nature anticipated that punch line.
ReplyDeleteI guessing you would never tell either. 😁
DeleteHar, de har-har-har!!
ReplyDeleteYou've seen this, haven't you! 😁
DeleteHahahaha! Didn't see that coming!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad someone was surprised.
DeleteThanks Mike. I actually was surprised by that. A classic, no doubt. Have a wonderful week friend. Aloha
ReplyDeleteA classic for sure.
DeleteGreat joke! Thanks for reminding me of it!
ReplyDeleteBring it out of retirement.
DeleteHA! This was a new one for me.
ReplyDeleteNow the hunt for the other nine fathers begins.
DeleteI'm reminded of a couple I knew years ago when people said only one of their children resembled the father and the wife would say "he's the only one that's his". (All the others looked like their mother.)
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like fun.
