Grandpappy's Wisdom

Whether a man winds up with the nest egg or a goose egg depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries.

Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt that he forgets his sugar.

Too many couples marry for better or for worse, but not for good.

When a man marries a woman, they become one, but the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.

If a man has enough "horse sense" to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she will never be an old nag.

Judgin' from the specimens they pick for husbands,it's no wonder that brides often blush.

On anniversaries the wise husband always forgets the past...but never the present.

A foolish husband remarks to his wife: "Honey, you stick to the washin', ironin', cookin', and scrubbin'. No wife of mine is gonna work.

The bonds of matrimony are a good investment only when the interest is kept up.

Many girls like to marry a military man--he can cook, sew, make bed, and is in good health...and he's already used to taking orders.

Grandpappy and his wife were discussin' their 50th wedding anniversary when she said, "Shall I kill a chicken tonight?" "Naw, said Grandpappy, "Why blame a bird for something' that happened 50 years ago?

Congrats & Good Luck. Worked out great for me:

You know you are married to a Thai woman when...

* You are expected to be able to read her mind just by watching her eyebrows move up and down and noticing which way her lips are pointing.

* Her parents take 10 years to acknowledge your existence and to call you by something other than "the farang." (the western foreigner)

* The instant you are married you have 3000 new close relatives that you can't tell apart.

* Your refrigerator is always full but you cannot find any food that you recognize. ( Same applies to eating out in groups, mountains of food will be ordered, you just stick to the stuff you can recognise - then head off on your own for a Big Mac. )

* You try to call her up on the phone and someone tells you " mai yu? (not here), if you want to know to where she's at, or when she'll be back, or if you can leave her a message - 'forget about it.'

* You aren't allowed to sleep until you've hugged her for at least an hour - any attempt to get to sleep before this time has expired will not be tolerated.

* There are no knives on your dining table. However, there is one multi-purpose cleaver in your kitchen drawer that's used for opening coconuts, butchering a chicken and spreading jam.

* Your phone bill is all for calls to some remote village upcountry,
which last for an average 3 hours per call.

* Prior to your first holiday together, she will pack the entire
contents of her wardrobe into 4 giant suitcases and explain that it's so she has something to wear - you give up trying to explain that your only going for two days - not emigrating.

* Everything in your house was bought on sale, even if you don't need it. As long as it was a "bargain", that's all that matters ? nothing second hand is allowed within 100 metres of the house.

* You throw a party and everyone is fighting to chop the leathery skin off a roast pig. It's the best part, allegedly, along with the ears and the meat from the cheeks.

* Her sister first visited you back in 1998, and now you're wondering when she'll be leaving.

* Her friends are named Ah, Oh, Ee-ow, A, and various other vowel sounds. If one of her friends is called "Titiporn" you're not allowed to laugh.

* She's done her best job planning a surprise for you if she doesn't tell you more than two weeks before the event happens.

*Last, but definitely not least, the most important thing to remember is "You love it all".
