Grounds for divorce

Category: Humour

Having always considered myself the Pun-Meister I had to relinquish the crown to my wife after the following incident that happened many years ago.

I was supposed to meet my wife at an appointed time in a shopping Plaza off Merivale Road in Ottawa and I was late. When I arrived she started blasting me for making her wait. It was one of these miserable wet days where everything goes wrong.

We decided to leave the car there and walk across Merivale road to a grocery store on the other side. As we walked, and after I ran out of excuses for being late, and had repeatedly asked my wife if she wanted a divorce, my wife responded 'No!' in an unconvincing tone.

Now we were nearing a row of stacked shopping carts near the entrance of the grocery store.

After asking one last time 'Do you want a divorce?' my wife, still leaving me hanging, and anxious to get the shopping over with, says: 'No. We'll talk about this later. Let's get the cart before divorce.'
