Poppa Gringo once visited a small village in the countryside. At the local bar, someone asked him if he was married. "I'm divorced, actually. Never could find a woman I didn't end up fighting with all the time," he replied.


The local man said: "Then you should go talk to the Slattens.who live on Lake Whitney. Rumor has it that they've been married over
40 years and they've never fought this whole time."




"What?? That's impossible! Everyone has fights!" Exclaimed Poppa. But the local swore to him it was the truth and nothing but.

Poppa just had to check it out, and in the morning he knocked on the door of the little house on the lake and was immediately welcomed by Slatten, who invited him in for a Dr.Pepper. After Poppa explained why he came to see him, Slat smiled and nodded.

"It's true. We never fight."

"PLEASE," begged Poppa, "can you tell me your secret?"

"Well," said Slat, "it all started about 40 years ago, right after the wedding. We were riding our mule back to town and walking it down the street when it tripped over a stone and the Sgt Major said to him: 'That's one.'

"We kept riding and he tripped again on another stone, which made the Sgt Major immediately say: 'That's two.'

"Two minutes later, the mule trips over a stone again .the Sgt Major said 'That's three.' She pulled out a gun I never knew she had and shot it in the head without thinking twice! I was shocked and yelled at her: 'What the heck do you think you're doing? We needed that mule! Are you crazy?!'

The Sgt Major looked me straight in the eye and said: 'That's one.'

True story.

Old joke, but very amusing in this context. We've been married over 50 years and SELDOM fight because we can't hear well enough. Blessing in disguise.

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

It is well known you deliberately pick fights so you can make out up.

badbobby Loc: texas

lil of both Slat

badbobby Loc: texas

just like a Marine
undecided where he is going

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

Salty is only undecided in how we can get you to pay off the mountain of IOUs we have of yours.

badbobby Loc: texas

still having that rediculous dream--aren't you Slat
mon pauvre

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

Not a dream, BB, but the nightmare of dealing with yet another unscrupulous Swabbie.

badbobby Loc: texas

now you have hurt me deeply calling me unscrupulous
just because I took all your money at the poker table and then foolishly accepted a ton of your IOUs
BTW Slat
I will accept no more of your IOUs
fool me once shame on you
fool me twice shame on me
having said that
pay your dam debts

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

Since you have never accepted any IOUs from me...none were owed, none were given...you couldn't possibly accept any more.

PoppaGringo Loc: Muslim City, Mexifornia, B.R.

He confuses those we returned to him for redemption as being signed by us. We have never had to sign an IOU, pobrecito bb doesn't realize nor acknowledge that fact.
