Adjusting to marriage sometimes poses problems. We met a good friend of ours recently, the morning after his wedding, brooding over a drink in a local bar.

What’s the trouble? we asked. I should think you’d be the happiest man in the world today.



He shook his head sadly. What creatures of habit we are, he said. This morning when I rose, half asleep, without thinking, I pulled a $50 bill from my wallet and left it on the pillow.



We tried to console him and told him his wife wouldnt think anything of it.



You dont understand, he said. Half asleep, without thinking, she gave me twenty dollars change.
