50 Years
John and Mary were approaching fifty years of marriage in a few days. As they sat by the fire, John said
"Mary, because we've had a good life together, I'm going to take you to the poshest hotel in town for a good meal and an overnight stay."
"Oh John, that will be wonderful!" exclaimed his wife.
So the big day arrived, and they walked into the plushest reception area they had ever seen. They walked up to the desk.
"Can I assist you?", asked the receptionist.
"Yes", said John, "We'd like to order dinner, and a room for tonight. It's a celebration, we've been married fifty years."
The girl looked at her screen, then excused herself for a few minutes.
She returned with the manager.
"Good evening sir, I believe you want a room to celebrate an occasion?"
"Well, yes." replied John.
"Then since it's special to you, we have decided to give you the Bridal Suite."
"The Bridal Suite?", John uttered, "but we've been married for fifty years!"
"Well", said the manager, "We could let you have the ballroom, but you don't have to dance!"
