Linda Wolfe, aged 68, who
was first married at the age of 16, admits she became 'addicted to the
romance' of getting hitched. Will and Guy note that grandmother, with 23
ex-husbands, has been recognised as the most married woman in the world. Mrs
Wolfe from Anderson, Indiana, USA can no longer list her husbands in order
but remembers the nicest was a Mr George Scott, her first and, at seven
years, her longest marriage.
We find it amusing to record that she has
been single now for 12 years, her longest stint unmarried since childhood,
'But I would get married again,' she told us laughing, 'because, you know,
it gets lonely.'
More Funny Marriage Stories from Mrs Wolfe to Make You Smile
Linda, once married the same man, Jack Gourley, three times.
Her
longest marriage lasted seven years. Her shortest was just 36 hours.
Over
the subsequent decades she married a one-eyed convict, a preacher, barmen,
plumbers and musicians.
Two were
homeless and one beat her. Another put a padlock on her fridge.
Her last
marriage, a decade ago, was a publicity stunt. It was to Glynn Wolfe, who in
taking Linda as his bride meant he was the world's most married man, at 29
times. He died a year later aged 88.
Hooligans had set fire to a farmer's haystack which then spread to his barn.
While he surveyed the wreckage, his wife 'phoned their insurance company
and asked them to send a check for £30,000, [$60,000 USD] the amount of
insurance on the barn.
'We don't give you the money,' a company official explained. We replace the barn and all the equipment in it.'
'In that case,' replied
the wife, 'cancel the policy I have on my husband.'
'Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the
other is usually the husband.'
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me
that I should get it fixed. Somehow I always had something else to take care
of first: the truck, the car, email, fishing, always something more
important to me.
Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived
home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away
with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time
and then went into the house. I was gone only a few minutes. When I came out
again I handed her a toothbrush.
'When you finish cutting the grass,' I said, 'you might as well sweep the
driveway.'
The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

Marriage over the years
Some people have strange views on the subject of
marriage
In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens.
In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens.
In the third year, they both speak and the neighbours listen.
An elderly Italian man lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favourite Italian anisette sprinkle cookies wafting up the
stairs.
Gathering his remaining strength, he lifted himself from the bed. Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort, gripping the railing with
both hands he crawled downstairs. With laboured breath, he leaned against the doorframe, gazing into the kitchen. Where it not for death's
agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven, for
there, spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favourite anisette sprinkled cookies.
Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted
Italian wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?
Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself towards the table, landing on his knees in a crumpled posture. His
parched lips parted, the wondrous taste of the cookie was already in his mouth, seemingly bringing him back to life.
The aged and withered hand trembled on its way to a cookie at the edge of the
table, when it was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife..... 'Back off!' she said, 'they're for the funeral.'
An insurance salesman was trying to persuade, Mrs Warren, a housewife, to
buy a life insurance policy.
'Just imagine,' he pronounced, 'if your husband was to die tomorrow, what
would you get?'
'Oh, a Yorkshire terrier dog, I think,' responded Mrs Warren brightly,
'they're so well-behaved.'
2. Since Marriage I've
Changed
Only last week, in the local pub, I bumped into Ricky. We chatted over a pint and he surprised me by announcing,
'Mark, Rosie and I are getting a divorce.'
I was stunned, 'Why? What happened, you two seem so happy together.'
'Well,' Ricky stated, 'ever since we got married, Rosie has tried to
change me. She got me to stop drinking, smoking, running around at all hours
of the night and more. She taught me how to dress well, enjoy the fine arts,
gourmet cooking, classical music and how to invest in the stock market.'
'Are you a little bitter because she spent
so much time trying to change you?' I probed. 'Nah, I'm not bitter,'
Ricky continued, 'now that I'm so improved, Rosie just isn't good enough for
me.'

6. More Funny Quotations on
Marriage
By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get
a bad one, you'll become a philosopher...and that is a good thing for any
man. - Socrates
Personally I think one of the greatest things about
marriage is that as both husband and Father, I can say anything I want to
around the house. Of course, no one pays the least bit of attention.
If your wife laughs at your joke, it means you either have a good joke, or a
good wife.
