A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary on
the beach
in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Their domestic tranquility had long
been the
talk of the town. "What a peaceful & loving couple".

The local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret
of their
long and happy marriage.

"Well, it dates back to our honeymoon in America, "
explained the man.
"We visited the Grand Canyon in Arizona and took a trip down
to the
bottom of the canyon by horse. We hadn't gone too far when
my wife's
horse stumbled and she almost fell off. My wife looked down
at the horse
and quietly said, "That's once."

"We proceeded a little further and the horse stumbled again,
this time
causing her to drop her water. Once more my wife quietly
said, "That's
twice." We hadn't gone a half-mile when the horse stumbled
for a third
time. My wife quietly removed a revolver from her purse and
shot the
horse dead.

I shouted at her, "What's wrong with you, Woman! Why did you
shoot the
poor animal like that? Are you crazy??"

She looked at me, and quietly said, "That's once."
