I come from West Virginia mountains....where families often gather together on the front porches to talk....and, many of the people have a sharp sense of humor.

My relatives were together for a visit on my Aunt's front porch...My husband and I were there as well as several of our cousins. Mary and Earnie (my cousins) have had a lo ng and good marriage, and, survived many challenges over the years.
There was a discussion of someone who was having a problem in their marriage.
My aunt said: I hope they can get through this---marriage is a 50/50 deal.
With that, Earnie jumped out of his chair and exclaimed: "50-50....why in hell didn't somebody tell me that?!!!!!!!! Mary has been telling me it was 80-20, this whole time!"....and marched away into the house...slamming the screen door behind him.

I laughed so hard, I nearly fell out of my chair....and peed my pants!
