Thought for the day
A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband is not in bed.
She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him.
She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of cocoa in front
of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall.
She watches as he wiped a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his hot
cocoa.
"What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room. "Why are
you down here at this time of night?"
The husband looks up from his cocoa, tears glistening in his eyes and softly states "It's the 20th Anniversary of the day
we met."
She can't believe he has remembered and starts to tear up.
The husband continues, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we started dating?
I was 18 and you were only 16," he says solemnly.
Once again, the wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is so
caring and sensitive. "Yes, I do" she replies.
The husband pauses. The words were not coming easily.
"Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?"
"Yes, I remember," said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.
The husband continued, "Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my
face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter or I will send you to prison
for 20 years?'"
"I remember that, too," she replied softly.
He wiped another tear from his cheek and said, "I would have gotten out
today."

I gota say something, respectfully, I got a couple of attorney buddies that come out here to shoot. And for a lawyer you spend a lot of time on the internet. Are you a practicing atty? Or do you just spend your time on the web dispensing --- well whatever it is you put out? I saw your post on the c-pap thread and it made me rethink whatever it was I thought about you in the beginning. Just a plain question and I hope for a plain answer. No disrespect meant or given.

It was my impression that a 'CAJUNLAWYER' was a Cajun who owns 3 books. A Justin Wilson cookbook, the Bible and one other.

Caj: That brought a thought to me that happened many years ago during my youth. Almost the same thing happened to me but I fell off the davenport in time.

If the hourly rate is sufficiently high, you can get by with fewer hours.

After 9 years of misery, my ex let me know it was "time" for our star crossed relationship to end in divorce. I still think if I'd have just tried harder she would have bailed at 5 yrs..

People will ask me every now and then, “Are you married?”
I just bow my head slightly and say, “I’ve been married four times! One died; and three won’t!!!”

Respectfully, how long does it take to copy and paste something on the internet? We all spend more time on the net then we should, at home and at work. What's the big dang deal? I think everyone on this site knows Caj is a practicing atty. I take that question as being disrespectful, but that's just me. Caj will surely respond. Keep in mind, we are here for fun and intertainment. Relax and enjoy the ride, ok?

Wife said "I want something that will go from 0 to 200 in five seconds." I gave her a set of scales.

The fact that the guy spoke about that in the kitchen, near all those knives, shows he hasn't learned much in the past 20 years.

An insurance salesman is traveling through Louisiana, trying to sell a few life insurance policies but not having much luck. Tired and discouraged, he stops by a little shotgun house on the edge of a bayou. He knocks, and a little old lady comes to the door. After introducing himself and telling her he's there to sell insurance, he is pleasantly surprised when she invites him in and offers him a glass of tea. (Yes, sweet tea, this IS Louisiana) He asks if she is married, and she replies, "Yes, to my fourth husband." "Fourth husband?" the salesman replies incredulously. "Yes, the other three died tragic deaths." Thinking that this is a perfect candidate for a life insurance policy, the salesman asks, "May I ask what brought about their demise?" "Well, my first husband, he died from eating poison mushrooms. And my second husband, well he died from eating poison mushrooms, too. But my third husband, he died from a fractured skull." The salesman, intrigued, asks "How did he happen to get a fractured skull?" The little old lady responds, "The sonofb*tch wouldn't eat his mushrooms."
