Elderly Couple Gets Stranded On
Suddenly, the captain announces over the public
address system, “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry to say
that I have some bad news. Our engines are malfunctioning
and we will attempt an emergency landing. Luckily, I see an
uncharted island below us and we should be able to land on
the beach. However, the odds are that we may never be
rescued and will have to live on the island for the rest of
our lives.” Thanks to the skill of the flight crew, the
plane lands safely on the island. An hour later, the husband
turns to his wife and asks, “Honey, did we pay the car
bill this month?” “No, sweetheart,” she responds.
Still shaken from the crash landing, he then asks, “Did we
pay our credit card bill yet?” “Oh no! I’m sorry I
forgot to send the check,” she says. “One last thing,
did you remember to pay the medical bill for the hospital
visit last month?” he asks. “Oh, forgive me,
sweetheart,” begged the wife “I didn’t send that one,
either.” The husband grabs her and gives her the biggest
hug in 50 years. She pulls away and asks him, “What was
the hug for?” The husband answers, “Don’t you see? The
debt collectors will find us!”
