Story 3, They Had No Privacy As a young married couple, a husband and a wife lived in a cheap housing complex near the base where he was working.

as she was tired of saving every penny to buy a dream home.

However, after the first week, she began complaining again.

There are no curtains in the bathroom.

The neighbors can see me every time I take a bath.

Story 6, Where's the Shoe?

One night, a fellow drove his secretary home after she had imbibed a little too much at an office reception.

Although this was an innocent gesture, he decided not to mention it to his wife, who tended to get jealous easily.

The next night, the man and his wife were driving to a restaurant.

Suddenly, he looked down and spotted a high-heel shoe half hidden under the passenger seat.

Not wanting to be conspicuous, he waited until his wife was looking out her window before he scooped up the shoe

Honey, she asked, have you seen my other shoe?

What a day!

He put her on every ride in the park, the death slide, the screaming loop, the wall of fear, everything there was.

Wow!

Five hours later, she staggered out of the theme park, her head reeling and her stomach upside down.

Off to a McDonald's they went, where her husband ordered her a Big Mac along with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake.

Then it was off to a movie, the latest Hollywood blockbuster, hot dogs, popcorn, Pepsi-Cola, and Eminem, Dems.

What a fabulous adventure.

Finally, she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed.

He leaned over and lovingly asked, well, dear, what was it like being six again?

One eye opened.

You dummy, I meant my dress size.

and discovered the milkman lying on his doorstep groaning in pain.

He told her several times how attractive she was, complimented her on her culinary skills, and showered her with hugs and kisses.

I started to appreciate her more about six months ago, Joe said.

It has revived our marriage, and we couldn't be happier Inspired by Joe's story, Bob hurried home, hugged his wife, told her how much he loved her,

and said he wanted to hear all about her day Instead, she burst into tears Darling, Bob said, whatever's the matter?

Anything, said the man And in what color?

Immaterial Seeing the assistant's confusion, the man explained that whenever he bought his wife something, she would always take it back to the shop and exchange it.

Why don't you get a gift voucher instead?

The assistant asked him.

Oh no, said the man.

That would be too impersonal.

Yep, the husband replied, in-laws.
