Ending Troubles"

"Son, I just know you'll do the right thing by this little
girl," said the preacher. "You just marry her, and you'll
be at the end of your troubles."

So he did the right thing, and he married the girl, and
about six months later when he saw the preacher again
he tried to murder him.

"You miserable liar!" shouted the young man. "You told me
if I married her, I would be at the end of my troubles.
Well, I married her, and she has made my life miserable."

"That may be true, son, but you can't blame me," replied
the minister. "I said you'd be at the end of your troubles,
but I never said which end."

______

Two women chatting over coffee. One says "What's your husband getting you for your birthday?".

"Roses" replied the other, "Its always roses" - with a grimace.

The first lady asks what's wrong with that and she gets the reply that when the husband has given roses he has certain expectations and she didn't like spending three days on her back with her legs in the air.

"Haven't you got a vase?" asked her friend.
