CheddarMan, a scholarly gentleman and fresh water mariner from the upper
midwest sent this one about the Italian secret to a happy marriage.

At St. Peter's Catholic Church in Toronto, they have weekly marriage seminars
for husbands.

At the session last week, the priest asked Giuseppe, who said he was approaching
his 50th wedding anniversary, to take a few minutes and share some insight into
how he had managed to stay married to the same woman all these years.

Giuseppe replied to the assembled husbands, "Wella, I've-a tried to treat her nice,
spend-a da money on her, but best-a all is, I took-a her to Italy for our number 25
anniversary!"

The priest responded, "Giuseppe, you are an amazing inspiration to all the husbands
here! Please tell us what you are planning for your wife for your 50th anniversary?"

Giuseppe proudly replied, "I gonna go pick her up."
