I Did What I Had To Do

A couple was having dinner one evening when the husband

reached across the table, took his wife’s hand in his and

said; “Beth, soon we will be married 30 years, and

there’s something I have to know. In all of these 30

years, have you ever been unfa****ul to me?” Beth replied,

“Well Charles, I have to be honest with you. Yes, I’ve

been unfa****ul to you three times during these 30 years,

but always for a good reason.” Charles was obviously hurt

by his wife’s confession but said, “I never suspected.

Can you tell me what you mean by ‘good reasons’?” Beth

said, “The very first time was shortly after we were

married, and we were about to lose our little house because

we couldn’t pay the mortgage. Do you remember that one

evening I went to see the banker and the next day he

notified you that the loan would be extended?, well I did

what I had to do” Charles recalled the visit to the banker

and said, “I can forgive you for that. You saved our home,

but what about the second time?” Beth answered, “And do

you remember when you were so sick, but we didn’t have the

money to pay for the heart surgery you needed? Well, I went

to see your doctor one night and, if you recall, he did the

surgery at no charge, well I did what I had to do.” “I

recall that,” says Chuck. “And you did it to save my

life so of course I can forgive you for that. Now tell me

about the third time.” “All right,” Beth said. “So

do you remember when you ran for president of the golf club,

and you needed 73 more votes?”
