The elderly couple walked into my office and announced that they had not gotten along for about fifty years and they wanted a divorce. They looked as if they were around ninety - so I said to them, 'Excuse me for asking, but why have you waited so long to seek a divorce?' And the old gentleman replied, 'We were waiting for the children to die.'

Donno what to sya??
Left me sad....wonder why :(
somehow that wsn;t funny :(
that's a joke with a message...actually left me sad... and wondering whats more important in life... to be happy and peaceful yourself or just let everything happen for ur childern's happiness...
Shikha: That made me a lil quiet too
Cherie: Mmm!
Chandni: there's a message in every joke and a joke in every message..a lil pinch of laughter makes everything mucho easier, dontcha think?
Monika: Its hard to pinpoint the exact time when we turn from children to grownups ourselves..so..
some morbid humour, that, magpie. the message is still a grey area... hmm...
LOL!!!! :) Would say that leave aside the morbid thought and think of the patience these guys had- and also so much of a difference...
Hmm, on a serious note, their attitude and optimism to live their own lives, once their dear ones are not around to feel the pain, is commendable!
HAHAHA You know those people are out there too.
ohh....don't parents always put the happiness of their children before their own....an extreme example

heh!
life can be sad and tough and people do things for various reasons but if we can't see the lighter side of things then what's the point, eh?
Meeta: Ah like morbid..
Lovemarks: I think those guys were stupid..but think is not how I feel unfortunately
Liz: Yeah hehe
Varsha: Yeah they do all the time and screw their lives up nearly all the time. Striking a balance is a lesson that needs to be taught
Hey Keona: Thanks for visiting moi..Muh pleasure..
TGIP: Ye got it..that shade of pink is most welcome..

forget the children, what are they gonna do by getting a divorce? catch up with their lives at 90? :-)
Yes, Zypsy. One day of complete freedom is worth all that and much more..
Wow.
