A couple goes out to dinner to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. On the
way home she notices a tear in his eye and asks whether he is getting
sentimental because they are celebrating 50 wonderful years together.

He replies, No, I was thinking about the time before we got married. Your
father threatened me with a shotgun and said he would have me thrown in jail for
50 years if I did not marry you. Tomorrow I would have been a free man!
