Dragnet, a most perspicacious gentleman who lives a bit southwest, sent
this one on the subject of marriage...

After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife came for counseling. When
asked what the problem was, the wife went into a tirade listing each and
every problem they had ever had in the years they had been married.

On and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling
unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of all the unmet needs she had
endured.

Finally, after allowing this for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up,
walked around the desk and after asking the wife to stand, he embraced and
kissed her long and passionately as her husband watched - with a raised
eyebrow. The woman shut up and quietly sat down in a daze.

The therapist turned to the husband and said, "This is what your wife needs
at least 3 times a week. Can you do this?"

"Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays... but I fish
on Fridays.
