GOOD GOD, BROWN (A JOKE)
Two friends met after fifteen years. One was married and the other was not. They went to a pub to drink and exchange notes. After a round of drinks, the unmarried asked the married. “When did you get married? Are you happy in marriage”
That was enough to make the married one to launch a panegyric on married life. Finally he asked his friend, “I say, why didn’t you get married?”
The unmarried who had by now had had a lot to drink said, “I didn’t because women cannot be trusted”
“Hey, mind what you say. You will get into trouble over that comment. You can’t be serious. Why do you insult all of womankind!”
OK. OK. I shall issue a correction. You may trust a woman with blue eyes. You may trust one with black eyes. But never ever trust one with brown eyes.”
Now the one who was married was perplexed. He could not remember the color of his wife’s eyes. Excusing himself, he hurried home full of doubts.
He tip-toed into the bed room to find his wife fast asleep. He felt very guilty for doubting her. However since he was in the bedroom he might as well do his inspection. He shone his pocket torch on his wife’s eyelids and gently pried one open. He was shocked.
“GOOD GOD, BROWN” He exclaimed loudly.
From under the cot, Mr. Brown crawled out. He said in amazement. “HEY, TELL ME MAN, HOW THE HELL DID YOU KNOW I WAS HERE!”
