The Doilies HAHA

The Doilies



As a new bride, Aunt Edna moved into the small home on her husband’s ranch. She put a shoe box on a shelf in her closet and asked her husband NEVER to touch it.

For fifty years Uncle Jack left the box alone until Aunt Edna was old and dying. One day when he was putting their affairs in order, he found the box again and thought it might hold something important. Opening it, he found two doilies and $82,500 in cash.

He took the box to her and asked about the contents.

“My mother gave me that box the day we married,” she explained. “She told me to make a doily to help ease my frustrations every time I got mad at you.”

Uncle Jack was very touched that in 50 years she’d only been mad at him twice.

“What’s the $82,500 for?” he asked.

“Oh, that’s the money I made selling the rest of the doilies

LOL! Too cute! Thanks for sharing. :)

LOL! This is a variation on my father's favorite joke. In his joke the old man had the box and it contained about that much money and 2 eggs. The eggs represented each time he failed her in his vows *cough*. The old woman thinks for awhile and says finally well we've been married 50 years and you have been a good and loving husband and father. I suppose 2 indescretions in 50 years isn't that bad. She asks what the money was for... and he says he sold the eggs each time he collected a dozen. *ba da bump*
