Can We Talk?
Published Jan 01, 1900
A woman went to her rector and told him she wanted to divorce her husband.
"What are your grounds?" asked the rector.
"About two acres," she replied.
"That's not what I mean," said the rector. "Do you have a grudge?"
"No, we park in the driveway," she said.
Frustrated, the rector continued, "Does your husband beat you up?"
"No," she said, "I get up an hour before he does."
"Then why do you want a divorce?" the rector asked.
"Because," she replied, "we just don't seem to communicate."
