LANGUAGE HUMOR AT ITS FINEST
Making yourself more proficient in English need not be a drag. You can actually speed up the learning process and make it fun by generously lacing it with humor—but preferably the best that the English language can offer.
In this new section, apart from giving a fixed slot to our weekly “In a Lighter Vein” pop-out humor piece in the Forum homepage, we have put together the finest of those weekly humor pop-ups since the Forum started. The best of them—collected from various sources on the web and sent in by friends—are all here, posted in the Forum under the following headings: Wordplay, On the Job, Student and School Life, and Miscellany.
So if you missed any of the best of the Forum’s weekly humor pop-ups, you can enjoy and savor them again and again here—and better still, share them with your friends!

A Wife’s and Husband’s Thoughts About Marriage
1. I married Miss Right. I just didn’t know her first name was Always.
2. It’s not true that married men live longer than single men. It only seems longer.
3. Losing a wife can be hard. In my case, it was almost impossible.
4. A man was complaining to a friend: “I had it all. Money. A beautiful house. A big car.
The love of a beautiful woman, then, pow! It was all gone!”
“What happened?” asked the friend.
“My wife found out.”
5. Wife: Let’s go out and have some fun tonight.
Husband: Okay, but if you get home before I do, leave the hallway light on.
6. How many men does it take to open a beer? None. It should be opened by the time she
brings it to the couch.
7. A man rushes into his house and yells to his wife, “Martha, pack up your things! I just
won the California lottery!”
Martha replies, “Shall I pack for warm weather or cold?”
The man responds, “I don’t care. Just so long as you’re out of the house by noon!”
8. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street bald and still
think they are beautiful.
9. I haven’t spoken to my wife for 18 months. I don’t want to interrupt her.
10. A man without a woman is like a fish without a bicycle.
11. If your wife and a lawyer were drowning and you had to choose, would you go to
lunch or a movie?
12. A man is incomplete until he is married. After that, he is finished.
