It was the golden wedding anniversary for the couple. Their domestic tranquitlity had long been the talk of the town. Everyone used to comment "What a peaceful & loving couple !!"
"Well, it dates back to our honeymoon," explained the man. "We were visiting the Grand Canyon and took a trip down to the bottom on the canyon by horse. We hadn't gone too far when my wife's horse stumbled. My wife quietly said, "that's once". We proceeded a little further and the horse stumbled again. Once more my wife quietly said, 'That's twice'. "We hadn't gone a half-mine when the horse stumbled the third time. My wife quietly removed a revolver from her purse and shot the hrose dead.
" I started an angry protest over her treatment of the horse. While I was shouting, she looked at me, and quietly said " That's once'. And we lived peacefuly ever after."
