I almost never forward chainletters forwarded to me, kind of 'the buck stops here'...gee, I must have nine lives, as I have not, as of yet, dropped dead (knock on wood) not having forwarded messages seconds after I've received them. One reason is my not wanting to be responsible for someone else's demise if he/she doesn't have 500 other tolerant friends to forward them to.
I nevertheless keep forwarded messages in my inbox sent by good friends because I believe that in their heart of hearts, they don't mean me harm, won't make me feel guilty if they DON'T get it back or have already forgotten about it seconds after they've hit the 'send' button.
I found time today to go through my archive (before I finally delete them) and have found some funny if not downright hilarious forwarded messages. As I won't be imposing these on anyone (you do drop by at will), I think i'll share it here. That way, not only will I spare the forwarders' feelings (just in case for some weird reason they actually remember) but can truthfully say that indeed, I have shared them.
How to stay married!
A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything.They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.
For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box.
When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000. He asked her about the contents. "When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."
The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness.
"Honey," he said, "that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?" Oh," she said, "that's the money I made from selling the dolls."

Aren't the Irish just sweet? Look, he's even holding her hand!Wife vs. Husband
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position.. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically:
"Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "In-laws."
