A judge was interviewing a man regarding his pending divorce, and asked, “What are the grounds for your divorce?”
He replied, “About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property with a stream running by.”
“No,” he said, “I mean what is the foundation of this case?
“It is made of concrete, brick and mortar,” he responded.
“I mean,” he continued, “What are your relations like?”
“I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, and so do my wife’s parents.”
The judge said, “Do you have a real grudge?”
“No,” he replied, “We have a two-car carport and have never really needed one.”
“Please,” he tried again, “is there any infidelity in your marriage?”
“Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don’t necessarily like the music, but the answer to your questions is yes.”
“Sir, does your wife ever beat you up?”
“Yes,” he responded, “about twice a week she gets up earlier than I do.”
Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, “Sir, why do you want a divorce?”
“Oh, I don’t want a divorce,” he replied. “I’ve never wanted a divorce. My wife does. She said she can’t communicate with me.”
He replied, “About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property with a stream running by.”
