World’s Longest Marriage

A British couple -- the record holders for the world's longest marriage -- said that their success was down to a glass of whisky, a glass of sherry and the word “sorry.”
That’s funny. I thought that love meant never having to say that you’re sorry. Hmmm.
The marriage is a success, she said, because they still work hard at it and they never go to bed on a quarrel. His answer is slightly more simple - it is down to two words: "Yes, dear."
Ahhh, Percy’s got the hang of it. Well, at 105, I guess he would.
The couple have three children, six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren and are planning a party soon. “I like sherry at lunch time and whisky at night and I’m looking forward very much to my party,” Florence said.
Ohhh, I just got it. It has nothing to do with saying ‘sorry’ or saying ‘yes, dear’ …it’s all about the booze. With that much sherry and whisky going down, it’s smooth sailing. Burp.
