At my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, my dad was reminiscing about their courtship and marriage. “We didn’t have much money,” he told us, “And I had to decide whether to buy a new tire for the car or a marriage license.”
After a pause, he continued, “I think I made a good investment, because the tire wouldn’t have lasted 50 years.”

A young man applied for a job at a new factory being built in a nearby town. He entered the main office, where the receptionist directed him down the hall to an office where he was to be interviewed by the Personnel Officer.
After several minutes of describing and explaining all about the new factory, the Personnel Officer told the young man, “We need individuals who are totally responsible.” The young man grinned and responded: “Well, I sure qualify. Everywhere I’ve worked, when something went wrong, I was always responsible!”
