A banker calls in an oilman to review his loans.
"We loaned you a million to revive your old wells, and they went dry." says the banker.
"Coulda been worse."
"Then we loaned you a million to drill new wells, and they were dry."
"Coulda been worse."
"Then we loaned you another million for new drilling equipment, and it broke down."

One day he admitted I was right. "What changed your mind?"
"My grandson.
When my daughter told him I was coming to visit, he asked, 'Grandpa from Florida, or Grandpa from McDonald's?' "

Marriage has no guarantees.
If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.
