A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending
divorce and asked, “What are the grounds for your
divorce?” She 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?” “Oh, it’s made of concrete,
brick and mortar,” she responded. “I mean,” he continued,
“what are your relations like?” “I have an aunt and uncle
living here in town, and so do my husband’s parents.”
He asked, “Well, do you have a real grudge?” “No,” she
replied, “We have a two-car carport and have never really
needed one.” Exasperated, he tried again, “Please, 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 question is yes.” “Ma’am,
does your husband ever beat you up?” “Yes,” she responded,
“about twice a week he gets up earlier than I do. Finally,
in frustration, the judge asked, “Lady, why do you want
a divorce?”  “Oh, no, I don’t want a divorce.” she replied.
“I’ve never wanted a divorce. My husband does. He says he
can’t communicate with me.”
