A judge was interviewing a
woman regarding her pending divorce and asked,
"What are the grounds for your divorce?"
She replied, "About four
acres and a nice little home in the middle
of the property with a stream running by."
"No," he said, "I
mean, what is the foundation of this case?"
"Oh, it's made of concrete, brick and
mortar," she responded.
"I mean," he continued,
"what are your relations like?"
"I have an aunt and uncle living here
in town, and so do my husband's parents."
He asked, "Well, do you
have a real grudge?"
"No," she replied, "We have
a two-car carport and have never really needed
one."
Exasperated, he tried again,
"Please, is there any infidelity in your
marriage?"
"Yes, both my son and
daughter have stereo sets. We don't necessarily
ike the music, but the answer to your question
is yes."
"Ma'am, does your husband
ever beat you up?"
"Yes," she responded, "about
twice a week he gets up earlier than I do."
Finally, in frustration, the
judge asked, "Lady, why do you want a
divorce?"
"Oh, no, I don't want a divorce."
she replied. "I've never wanted a divorce.
My husband does. He says he can't communicate
with me."
