Would You Remarry?

System · December 2005

A husband and his wife are sitting quietly in bed reading when the wife looks over at him and asks the question...

Wife: What would you do if I died? Would you get married again?

Husband: Definately not!

Wife: Why not? Don't you like being married?

Husband: Of course I do

Wife: Then why wouldn't you remarry?

Husband: Ok, Ok, I'd get married again

Wife: You would? (with a hurt look)

Husband: (audible groan)

Wife: Would you live in our house?

Husband: Sure, its a great house

Wife: Would you sleep in our bed?

Husband: Where else would we sleep?

Wife: Would you let her drive my car?

Husband: Probably, it's almost new

Wife: Would you replace my pictures with hers?

Husband: That would seem like the proper thing to do

Wife: Would you give her my jewelry?

Husband: No, I'm sure she would want her own

Wife: Would she use my golf clubs?

Husband: No, she's left-handed

Wife: ---silence--

Husband: sh*t!

Good one! I entered your post ready to respond "not no but HELL NO!" and got to chuckle instead.

Parabeagle · December 2005

Me, too. Thought it was going to be a survey and I was going to make the same sage observation as dch... Thanks for the chuckle! x:-)

someone e-mailed it to me a few days ago and I about laughed my arse off. It's a gem...

Whirlwind · December 2005

It is indeed a gem, but there's no reason we can't appreciate the joke AND turn this into a thread that answers the question posed by it's title.

My short answer: Probably not.

Longer answer: Tried it twice without success -- evidently I'm not the marrying kind. Maybe when I'm too old to do anything other than park my butt in a recliner in front of a TV (i.e., when I've got nothing left to lose), I'll give it another shot.

Come on, everybody, 'fess up to your own re-marital aspirations, or lack thereof. I've got Christmas fever and am craving entertainment!!

Sure, I'd get married again. As I always say, there's nothing wrong with the occasional marriage.

HRinFL · December 2005

I would not get remarried, at least that is how I fell right now. We had this conversation at our staff outing a few years back. It started when a guy asked a female ee if she would be his back up and said that he would be her backup (they had know wach other since childhood). Being naive, I asked what a backup was. I was told that a backup is the person that you will marry if you get divorced or if your spouse passed away. So, we all joked about who our backup would be (mine is Elle McPherson). Now, my wife and I joke about who would be our backup. She is still staying will Mel Gibson, while I have switched to Jennifer Gardner.

Whenever I start to feel blue, I start breathing again!

SMace · December 2005

You may be disappointed when you meet Jennifer Gardner. I think you want Jennifer Garner instead.

HRinFL · December 2005

No, I meant Jennifer Gardner. She works in Expense Accounting down the hall.

This time around, I'm waiting for the perfect woman - poor eyesight and low standards. xhugs

And I'm wondering about our company Christmas party this weekend. For the first time ever, it's adults only and it's being held at a hotel. There'll be alcohol, and HR keeps reminding us that discounted hotel rooms are available. Some of us single folk are wondering exactly what type of party HR has in mind. x}>

Well James, if you spot a female there with thick glasses and dressed for the street, check out the discounts and thank HR.

Crout · December 2005

Yet another hat HR has to wear: getting James hooked up.

Whirlwind · December 2005

The typical woman and the typical HR Dept. have at least one thing in common: Their work is never done.

James, let us know how that party goes -- if you can remember it by the next day.

HRinNH · December 2005

I was a child of 18 when I married my husband. I'm a lot younger than that now. ;;)

Would I remarry if something should happen to him? NO WAY! or as they'd say in Venezuela ¡Ninguna Manera!

I like HRinFL's idea about having a backup. Too bad Mel Gibson is taken.

Good one!

As for the question - well, most likely not. I've been married to my husband for 34 years and I don't think I'd have the energy to start anew. But, you never know.

ha ha ha Thanks for the laugh.

I'd get married again but only if we could afford separate homes or one REALLY BIG one.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-16-05 AT 11:29AM (CST)[/font][br][br]James, is the catering company for your Christmas party the same one that catered the Vikings whoop de do? Remarry? Who the heck knows? We're 31 years and still going. Another way of looking at it is that I certainly wouldn't remarry the person for (or is it "with") whom I am celebrating 36 years of divorce.

LarryC · December 2005

Like you Gillian, I'm celebrating 14 years of marraige and 16 years of divorce.

For the record, Al&Alma's Charter Boats played host to the Vikings party. Does that name ring a bell, James? Al and Alma are filing lawsuits left and right now. They don't like becoming an overnight punchline to alot of local jokes. Whatever...

Hmmm...I would say "from". x;-)
