Your jokes

SOME friends, married for more than 50 years, have always packed their own suitcases to go on holiday.

On the last occasion, the wife suggested they take only one common item, such as toothpaste, to save unnecessary weight. The husband loftily pointed out that in the event of a quarrel, the wife wouldn’t then be in a position to clean her teeth.

She replied, under her breath, that if they had a row, he would not have any teeth to clean. Colin Drury, Dinas Powys, Glamorgan.
