	THREE STRIKES.....
	 
	A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary.  
	Their domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the 
	town.  A local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the
	secret to their long and happy marriage.  The woman explained,
	"Well, it dates back to our honeymoon.  We visited the Grand
	Canyon and took a trip down to the bottom by pack musle.  We
	hadn't gone too far when my husbands mule stumbled.  My husband
	took the mule by the ears, shook him vigorously and said, "That's
	once."  We went a little farther when the mule stumbled again.
	Once again my husband took him by the ears, shook him even more
	and said, "That's twice."  A half mile later the mule stumbled
	a third time.  My husband promptly removed his revolver and shot
	him.  I started to protest over his treatment of the mule when he
	grabbed me by the ears, shook me vigorously, and said "That's once."
