I am happy to say my wife really spoils me! I married her for her
personality and she has thrown in five more for free. Sometimes
if I'm really lucky I get to experience all six of them in one day.

Sadly, Pete, my cousin, had a wife who had nine personalities; a child who never spoke nor had a name. Sammy, a boy who was a protector. Betsy was the youngest whose age was suspected to be around 6 years old. Abigail somewhere around 8 or 9. Susan who may have been around 11, Liza about 13 and Paula - 17. Paula was the one he was afraid of as he feared she could be homicidal. There was Margaret who managed the children and kept them quiet and kept them from speaking about the horrors the root person had experienced during those years. And finally, there was Grand Mama who defended the father denying any of those things ever happened. I've heard horror stories about what Pete thought the first time he heard Grand Mama speak. He thought she was demon possessed. The root woman who shall remain nameless tried on many occasions to end her life. Four times on life support. Fortunately she's not able to see any of these posts as this sort of thing could easily send her back into her suicidal depression.
While this is merely the jokes thread, this kind of comment (quoted above) could cause someone who may have experienced a similar situation into a spiraling depression. I have another cousin who lives in denial while the rest of the family knows what happened to her. None of us would ever bring it up to her as it could prove fatal.
Pete is remarried and past the long years of trauma he experienced caring for his wife. She left him for another man, someone she thought was going to make all the bad stuff go away. Nobody has heard from her in decades. Not even her children. This is no joke. Please be a little more sensitive.
Before posting this I called Pete. He's OK with me speaking of it though he'd rather not be the one to address this as it brings up bad memories for him. Don't worry about Pete; he's doing quite well. Works for JPL in Pasadena CA. He's got his stuff together.

A lot of the best humor has a victim. Its just the perversity of being human.
It's just sometimes humor can come too close to home. I was there for a lot of it. Believe me - there's nothing about a person having multiple personalities, no matter what they call it.

Some posts make me laugh hearty. Some make me laugh. Some may seem rather passé to me and some I don't find funny. I found the joke - "For Me" - to be a little too close to home. Pete and I are close. His first wife was a wonderful woman. But when her recollection of growing up started invading her mind the whole family felt the winds of the storm. It brought a lot of us down and to hurt deeply. To hurt for her and to hurt for Pete. We all shared in the stress and drama as well as the countless hours worrying about her welfare. She was a wonderful wife, a great mother and a good Christian. Today nobody knows where she is or even if she's alive.

I think I've gone far enough off topic. I'll stop now.
Pete - my best cousin - you know! Love you man.

t_glover don't worry brother. Or sister if that's the case. The past is the past. It's behind us now. And I guess it only makes us stronger to remember days gone by. And for me - so many days have gone by. Bones are starting to creek; and sometimes I can't remember - um - remember - um - what's the word I'm looking for? Suks gettin - um - oh yeah, old.

A wife comes home early and walks into the bedroom—only to find her husband in bed with a very attractive young woman. Naturally, she is furious.

“You disrespectful pig!” she yells. “How dare you do this to me—your faithful wife, the mother of your children! I’m leaving you. I want a divorce!

”The husband panics. “Wait, wait—please, just let me explain!”

“Fine,” she snaps. “Say whatever you want. It’ll be the last thing you ever say to me!”

He takes a deep breath and begins:

“Well… I was getting into the car after work when I saw this young woman. She looked so sad and helpless that I took pity on her when she asked for a ride. She was thin, dirty, and told me she hadn’t eaten in three days.

“So I brought her home and heated up the enchiladas I made for you last night—the ones you wouldn’t eat because you said they’d make you gain weight. She ate them instantly.

“She needed a shower, so I let her clean up. While she was washing, I noticed her clothes were full of holes, so I threw them out.

“She didn’t have anything to wear, so I gave her those designer jeans you haven’t worn in years because they’re ‘too tight.’ Then I gave her that fancy underwear I bought you for our anniversary—the ones you said I had no taste picking out.

“I also gave her the blouse your sister gave you that you never wear just to spite her… and those expensive boutique boots you won’t touch because a coworker has the same pair.

”He stops to catch his breath.“ And then,” he continues, “when I walked her to the door, she looked up at me with tears in her eyes and said…‘Thank you so much… Is there anything else your wife doesn’t use?"
