 Jack and Betty are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.
 
 "Betty, I was wondering -- have you ever cheated on me?"
 
 "Oh Jack, why would you ask such a question now? You don't want to ask
 that question..."
 
 "Yes, Betty, I really want to know. Please."
 
 "Well, all right. Yes, 3 times."
 
 "Three? When were they?"
 
 "Well, Jack, remember when you were 35 years old and you really wanted to
 start the business on your own and no bank would give you a loan? Remember
 how one day the bank president himself came over to the house and signed
 the loan papers, no questions asked?"
 
 "Oh, Betty, you did that for me! I respect you even more than ever, that
 you would do such a thing for me!
 So, when was number 2?"
 
 "Well, Jack, remember when you had that last heart attack and you were
 needing that very tricky operation, and no surgeon would touch you?
 Remember how Dr. DeBakey came all the way up here, to do the surgery
 himself, and then you were in good shape again?"
 
 "I can't believe it! Betty, I love that you should do such a thing for me,
 to save my life! I couldn't have a more wonderful wife. To do such a
 thing, you must really love me darling. I couldn't be more moved. When was
 number 3?"
 
 "Well, Jack, remember a few years ago, when you really wanted to be
 president of the golf club and you were 17 votes short?"
