A wealthy business man and his wife are looking through a
marriage-help book when his husband turns to his wife. ''It says here
that the most important thing in a marriage is honesty. So let's come
to grips here. Honey... have you ever cheated on me? I've never
cheated on you.''
He saw the twisted look on his wife's face, and trying to supress his
anger, he asked: ''How many times? And when?''
The wife responded, ''Well... you know that time when your company was
broke, and you couldn't get the landlord to let his pay slide for
another month?''
The husband stared. ''You mean you're the one who got him to?''
His wife knodded. The husband thought it over, then sighed. ''I guess
that's okay. Any other times?''
''Well... when you had that heart attack, and the doctor refused to
give a heart transplant for the ammount of money we had at the time...
I kinda...''
''Ah, you're the one who made it possible.''
The husband looked honestly relieved. ''Well, that's understandable,
you saved my life. Any others?''
She nodded. ''One more.''
The husband leaned forward. ''Well... you remember the time when you
were running for president of your company, and you were short by 17
votes...?''
