Humour for a married best man

Given that I am a married man, for once I can offer advice to Paul on something that I genuinely know more about – the secret to a long and healthy marriage. Good, clear communication - something that took my wife and I some time to perfect. It was most noticeably demonstrated as soon as we returned from our honeymoon, when I told her I liked black underwear - after which she stopped washing my underpants.

Paul has received a lot of praise today from the wedding guests. People saying that he’ll make a good a husband to Linda, that sort of stuff. Well Paul, to truly be a good husband you have to acknowledge your mistakes. After five years of marriage I can honestly say I’ve made only one mistake. And that was putting my wife on a pedestal. Now she can’t reach the floor and clean it.
