    If my uncle Frederick (my late mother’s eldest brother) and aunt Melody were living in Poland, they’d receive that medal this year.

    Some 50 years ago, couples married that long got special treatment from the city mayor. Nowadays they should reinstall the tradition because they are becoming an unicom.

    Why the couple? In my experience, only one of them deserves it.

    Replied those long-suffering Polish couples: “If it weren’t for the honor of the thing…”

    I love cruise control, but there is a transmission problem with my car. After getting the fluid flushed and fresh, the check engine light still kept on for a week or two then going off for a few days, on again, off again. It has stayed off now for a couple of months since I quit using cruise control. I really, really miss using cruise control.

    A wedding anniversary is to commemorate another year without either spouse committing murder…

    Paul Harvey used to give a gold rose (artificial rose, made out of gold) to couples who reached their 50th wedding anniversary. Some US Presidents sent a letter of congratulations to couples with long marriages.

    Ford cars in the 30’s and up to at least 1940 had a T knob on the dash, you pull it and it adjusts the throttle. You could use it like a cruise control, except the brake didn’t turn it off!!!
