couple celebrating over 50 years of marriage, decided that as they had just gotten over serious illnesses it was time to sit down and just chat about life and things.
Well After an hour of some lovely heart to heart stuff the husband asks about an old shoe box that had been in the cupboard since they were married, with a note from the wife. Under no circumstances do not open!
Well she said I think today is the time to share it's contents. She opens the box and inside is a fine embroidery, with the words I'm sorry , love you lots and 25000 pounds.
Well that's a lovely embroidery why is it there? Well she said on the day we got married my mother said to me, if you ever feel your husband has been, unkind, or just a dick and you take solace in the arms or bed of someone else, just ask for forgiveness and sew a little sorry note and save it until you feel the time is right!
Well the husband shed a little tear, hugged his wife and remarked, although they had their ups and downs in that 50 years he was feeling blessed she only felt the need to transgress once, he hugged his wife again and forgave her .
But he said, what about the 25000 pounds?
Well I made that by selling of the others!
