The wife said to me "That new couple next door are so loving. He strokes her hair, kisses her, puts his arms around her and cuddles her -why don't you do that?" I said "I don't know her that well yet!"
I went down the pub the other day and saw a bloke with a long face looking like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. I asked him what was wrong. " I had a row with the wife" he said "told me she wouldn't talk to me for a month" "A month will soon pass" I said To which he replied "Yeah - today's the last day!"
