An old Jewish couple was sitting around one evening and he says to his wife:
- Sarah, we are about to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, so tell me, have you ever been unfaithful to me?
She hesitated a while and said:
- Yes, 3 times.
- Three times!? how did it happen? - he asks.
"Well, do you remember right after we were married and we were broke and the bank was going to foreclose on our little house?"
"Yes, that was really a terrible time."
"Okay, well do you remember when I went to see the banker and the next day he extended our loan?"
- It is hard to believe - he said, but I guess it really was for us and I can forgive you.
She continued:
- And do you remember years later when you almost died from the heart problem because we couldn't afford the operation?
"Of course I remember."
"Well, then you also remember that right after I went to see the doctor he did your operation at no cost?"
- Yes - he said, that shocks me too but I understand you did it because of your love for me and I forgive you. But tell me, what was the third time?
She responded:
- Do you remember when you ran for Temple president...and needed 23 more votes?
