\n\nAn old man lay on his deathbed with his wife by his side.\n
He whispers to her, \u201cMabel, I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s almost over, and here you are, right by my side as always.\u201d\n She says, \u201cI\u2019ve always been there for you, dear.\u201d\n He nods. \u201cWhen I lost the business and went bankrupt, you were there. When the bank foreclosed on our house, you were there. When the government came after me for ten years\u2019 worth of back taxes, you were there. When the doctor told me I had six months to live, you were there. Hey, Mabel, you know something?\u201d\n \u201cWhat?\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve been giving it some thought here, and you\u2019re a g@ddamn jinx!\u201d\n ———————–\n My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.\n I asked her, \u201cDo you know him?\u201d\n \u201cYes\u201d, she sighed, \u201cHe\u2019s my old boyfriend.\n I understand he took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn\u2019t been sober since.\u201d\n \u201cMy God!\u201d I said, \u201cWho would think a person could go on celebrating that long?\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Old Couple… An old man lay on his deathbed with his wife by his side.
