A woman woke in the middle of the night to
find her husband missing from their bed.

In the stillness of the house, she could
hear a muffled sound downstairs.

She went downstairs and looked all
around, still not finding her husband.

Listening again, she could definitely
hear moaning.

She went down to the basement to find
her husband, crouched in the
corner facing the wall, crying.

She asked him, "What's wrong with you?"

He replied, "Remember when your father
caught us together, when you were 16?

Remember he said I had a choice: I could
either marry you, or be sentaway to prison
for the next 20 years."

Baffled, she said, "Yes."

The husband bawled, "I would have
been released from prison today."
