In a cozy mobile home park in Florida, there lived an elderly widower and a widow who had known each other for many years. One evening, they found themselves at a community dinner, seated across from each other at the same table in the activity center.
As the meal went on, he stole a few admiring glances her way. Finally, summoning his courage, he leaned forward and asked, “Will you marry me?”
After a brief, dramatic pause—six whole seconds of thoughtful silence—she replied, “Yes. Yes, I will.”
With smiles and a few more kind words, they finished their meal and eventually returned to their own homes.
But the next morning, he was struck with a troubling thought. Had she said “yes” or “no”? He simply couldn’t remember. Try as he might, he couldn’t recall her answer—not even a hint of memory.
Nervously, he picked up the phone and called her. Apologizing for his forgetfulness, he explained how he struggled to remember things these days. Then, after a little buildup, he asked, “When I proposed last night, did you say ‘yes’ or ‘no’?”
She answered with a warm laugh, “Why, I said ‘Yes, yes, I will,’ and I meant it with all my heart.”
Then, with a touch of relief, she added, “And I’m so glad you called because I couldn’t remember who had asked me.”

An old fisherman is walking on a beach carrying a few fish in a bucket. A game warden walks up and asks to see his fishing license.
“I don’t have a fishing license,” says the man.
“You know it’s illegal to fish without a license, right?” asks the warden.
“I wasn’t fishing, officer. These fish are my pets.”
“Your pets?”
“Yes, officer. They like a little exercise, so when the weather’s fine, I take them to the water and let them swim around. Once they’re done, I give them a whistle and they jump back into my bucket and we head home.”
The officer isn’t buying a word of it, so the old man says, “Don’t believe me? Just watch!” and he throws the fish into the sea.
The warden waits for a minute then says, “Alright, now whistle to your fish and make them jump out of the water.”
The fisherman turns to the officer and says,
“What fish?”
“I don’t have a fishing license,” says the man.
