1. Say Goodbye to Mother
A couple had planned a night out. They were all dressed up and ready to leave. Their taxi arrived just as their mischievous cat darted back inside the house.
Not wanting the cat trapped inside the house, the husband ran after it to chase it out while the wife waited outside.
To keep things casual, the wife explained to the driver, “He’s just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother,” she said.

Moments later, the husband hopped into the cab, looking frazzled.
“Sorry I took so long,” he sighed. “The stupid old thing was hiding under the bed, and I had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out!”
The taxi driver cleared his throat and started the car.

As their wedding day approached, a nervous young couple confided in their parents about their secret fears.

The bride-to-be confessed to her mother, “Mom, my morning breath is terrible. I’m scared he won’t want to stay in the same room with me.”
“Just get out of bed, make breakfast, and brush your teeth before saying anything. Nobody will notice, love,” her mother reassured her.
The couple followed the advice religiously and enjoyed a blissful six months, until one fateful morning.

The groom woke in a panic, realizing one of his socks had come off. Frantically, he searched the bed, waking his wife.
“What on earth are you doing?” she asked groggily.
“Oh no!” he gasped, his nose wrinkled. “You’ve swallowed my sock!”

3. Ten Bucks is Ten Bucks!
John had always wanted to ride in an airplane at the state fair, but his wife’s frugality held him back every year.
“That ride costs ten dollars,” she would say without fail. “And ten dollars is ten dollars, John!”
When John turned 71, he pleaded with his wife while she looked at pies on sale.
“Please, this might be my last chance, Mary!”

His wife gave her usual reply.
“Ten dollars is ten dollars, John.”
The pilot overheard and offered another way out.
“I’ll take you both up for free if you can stay silent the entire ride. But if you say a word, it’ll cost ten dollars.”
The couple agreed, and the pilot gave them a wild, twist-filled ride, but they stayed silent. He tried more stunts, still no reaction.

When they landed, the pilot turned to John.
“I did everything to make you scream, but you didn’t say a word!”
“Well,” John admitted. “I almost said something when my wife fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars.”
