Love is blind

They say love is blind, but marriage is a real eye opener.

You all know I am a big fan of marriage humor. I think it's because the availability of comedic material is endless. People have been getting married and have been driving each other crazy since Adam and Eve. I also think this is why TV shows like "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "The King of Queens" have been so successful. Even shows as far back as "I Love Lucy" capitalized on the infinite possibilities for humor that marriage offers.

In the immortal words of Henny Youngman, "Take my wife. Please!"

And who could forget Red Skelton's views on marriage?

Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a
little beverage, good food and companionship.
She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.

We also sleep in separate beds.
Hers is in California and mine is in Texas.

I take my wife everywhere.....
but she keeps finding her way back.

We always hold hands.
If I let go, she shops.

She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric
bread maker.
She said "There are too many gadgets and no place
to sit down!" .. So I bought her an electric chair.

My wife told me the car wasn't running well because
there was water in the carburetor.
I asked where the car was; she told me "In the lake."

She got a mud pack and looked great for two days.
Then the mud fell off.

She ran after the garbage truck, yelling "Am I too late
for the garbage?" .... The driver said "No, jump in!"

Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.

I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her
first name was Always.

I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months.
I don't like to interrupt her.

This is just good, clean fun. No 4 letter words or potty humor. Today's television shows should take a cue from these comedians of the past.
