People would say, “What a peaceful and loving couple.”On this special occasion, a local newspaper reporter paid them a visit. He inquired as to the secret of their long and happy marriage.“Well,” explained the husband, “it all goes back to our honeymoon.“We visited the Grand Canyon and took a trip down to the bottom of the canyon by pack mule.“We hadn’t gone too much farther when my wife Ruth’s mule stumbled and she almost fell off. Ruth quietly said, ‘That’s once.’“We proceeded a little farther when the mule stumbled again. Once more my wife quietly spoke: ‘That’s twice.’“We hadn’t gone a half-mile when the mule stumbled a third time.

Are you crazy?’“Ruth looked at me and quietly said, ‘That’s once.’ “</blockquote>
