An elderly couple was driving across the country when the wife, who was behind the wheel, got pulled over by a highway patrol officer.
The officer walked up to the car and said, “Ma’am, did you know you were speeding?”
The woman, hard of hearing, turned to her husband and asked, “What did he say?”
The old man yelled, “He says you were speeding!”
The patrolman sighed and asked, “May I see your license?”
Again, the woman turned to her husband. “What did he say?”
The old man yelled, “He wants to see your license!”
She dug into her purse and handed over her license.
The officer glanced at it and smirked. “Ah, Arkansas. I spent some time there once. Went on a blind date with the ugliest woman I’ve ever seen.”
The woman turned to her husband once more. “What did he say?”
Without missing a beat, the old man yelled, “He said he knows you!”
An elderly couple, Harold and Edna, had been married for over 60 years.

They had shared everything, talked about everything, and kept no secrets from each other—except for one.
Edna had a shoebox in her closet, and she had told Harold never to open it or ask about it. For decades, he respected her wishes, never giving the box a second thought.
One day, Edna fell gravely ill, and the doctor told Harold she didn’t have much time left. With a heavy heart, Harold sat beside his wife and said, “Edna, I love you. We’ve been through everything together. Before you go, can I finally know what’s inside that shoebox?”
Edna smiled weakly and nodded. “Go ahead and open it, dear.”
Harold opened the box and was astonished to find two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000!
Confused, he asked, “Edna, what is this?”
She took his hand and explained, “Before we got married, my grandmother gave me some advice. She told me that every time I got angry with you, instead of arguing, I should crochet a doll.”
Harold’s eyes welled up with tears. After all these years together, there were only two dolls in the box! “Edna,” he said, overcome with emotion, “that means you’ve only been mad at me twice in 60 years?”
She nodded with a sweet smile.
Harold beamed. “That’s amazing, my love. But… what about all this money?”
“Oh,” Edna said, patting his hand. “That’s from selling all the other dolls.”
