A young couple decided to wed. As the big day approached, they
grew apprehensive. Each had an embarrassing problem they had
never before shared with anyone, not even each other.
The Groom-to-be, overcoming his fear, decided to ask his father
for advice.
"Father," he said, "I am deeply concerned about the success of my
marriage. I love my fiancée, very much, but you know, I have
extremely smelly feet, and I'm afraid that my future wife will be
revolted by them."
"No problem," said dad, "all you have to do is wash your feet as
often as possible, and always wear socks, even to bed."
Well, to him this seemed a workable solution.
The bride-to-be, overcoming her fear, decided to take her problem
up her mom.
"Mom," she said, "When I wake up in the morning my breath is
truly awful."
"Honey," her mother consoled, "everyone has bad breath in the
morning."
"No, you don't understand. My morning breath is so disgustingly
bad, I'm afraid that my new husband will not want to sleep in the
same room with me."
Her mother said simply, "Try this. In the morning, get straight
out of bed, and head for the bathroom and brush your teeth. The
key is, not to say a word until you've brushed your teeth. Not a
word," her mother affirmed.
Well, she thought it was certainly worth a try.
The loving couple were finally married in a beautiful ceremony.
Not forgetting the advice each had received, he with his
perpetual socks and she with her morning silence, they managed
quite well. That is, until about six months later.
Shortly before dawn, the husband wakes with a start to find that
one of his socks had come off. Fearful of the consequences, he
frantically searches the bed. This, of course, woke his bride
and without thinking, she immediately turns to face him and asks,
"What on earth are you doing?"
"Oh, no!" he gasped in shock, "You've eaten one of my socks!"
