A couple goes out to dinner to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.

On
the way home, she
notices a tear in his eye and asks if he's getting sentimental because
they're celebrating 50 wonderful
years together.

He replies, "No, I was thinking about the time before we
got married. Your father
threatened me with a shotgun and said he'd have me thrown in jail for 50
years if I didn't marry you.
Tomorrow I would've been a free man!"
