Marriage - Quick Takes

After a quarrel, a husband said to his wife, "You know, I was a fool when I married you." A lady inserted an ad in the classifieds: "Husband wanted." Next day she received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing: "You can have mine." The bride, upon her engagement, went to her mother and said, "I've found a man just like father!" Then there was the woman who said, "I made my husband a millionaire." The most effective way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it once.
She replied, "Yes, dear, but I was in love and didn't notice."
Her mother replied, "So what do you want from me, sympathy?"
"And what was he before you married him?" asked her friend. The woman replied, "A billionaire."
