the clerk’s directness, “I can assure you that a white gown would be
entirely appropriate. Believe it or not, despite all my marriages,
I remain as innocent as a first-time bride. You see, my first husband was so excited about
our wedding, he had a heart attack due to an unknown congenital
condition as we were checking into our
honeymoon hotel. My second husband and I got into such a terrible
fight in the limo on our way to our honeymoon
hotel that we had the wedding annulled immediately! We’ve never spoken to each other again.”
“What about your third husband?” “That one was a Liberal”, said the woman,
“and every night for four years, he just sat on the edge of the bed and told me how good it was
going to be, but nothing ever happened.”
