A woman woke in the middle of the night to find
her husband missing from
their bed. In the stillness of the house, she could hear a muffled
sound
downstairs. She went downstairs and looked all around, finally
finding her
husband in the basement, crouched in the corner, facing the wall,
and
sobbing.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked him.
"Remember when your father caught us having sex when you were
sixteen?", he
replied. "And remember he said I had two choices; I could
either marry you,
or spend the next twenty years in prison."
Baffled, she said, "Yes, I remember, so what?"
"I would have been released today."
