20 Years Ago

A woman wakes up one night and realizes her husband is not in the bed. She gets up and goes into the living room, where she finds her husband drinking Whiskey. She watches him wipe a small tear from his cheek and she asks him, “Oh, honey! Why are you sad?”

“Do you remember 20 years ago, when you were just 16 years old and we met for the first time?”

“Yes, of course, I do,” she assures him.

He asks, “Do you also remember when your dad caught us sleeping together? How he held a gun to my head and said, ‘You marry my daughter or spend the next 20 years in prison!’?”

“Yes,” she clucked, “I remember that very clear!”

He took a sip of the Whiskey and said, “I would’ve been released today!”
