A man and a woman get married.

During the wedding celebrations

"Where are you going?" asks his wife.

"To the loo," he replies.

He disappears and never returns.

25 years later ....

25 years later there's a knock on the door,

the wife opens it

and says:
"Egon, where have you

been all this time?"

"On the loo," he replies,

"and now I'm off to buy some cigarettes."

Dear friends,

may l have your attention. Our dear

senator would like to say a few words.

Highly honoured jubilee couple,

50 years ago you took the pledge,

"till death do us part".

Just like that ... if you re not interested

anymore, let me know beforehand.

But l am.

Listen to me!

Someone else, l understand.

- You don't need to make excuses.

Just go.

l'm only a stocky Swiss fellow with

a speech defect and sausage legs.

How boring!

Go and join your tall blond !

S nice when do you like blondes?

Can't you make a decision?

- lt's over.

- Rubbish!

Are you in love with me or not?

lt doesn't t ngle any more.

That s normal when one is together

every day for a whole year.

l don't think l ever reaIly loved you.

We might as well separate, then.

M ght as well.

You go first.

No, you.

l don't know e ther.

We'll separate. Promise?

Whatever you do,

don't cry for love.

over again. l was forever in love.

We aren't any more.

Thank God.

That s how t is.

Love comes and goes.

Give me that glass.

Just a minute ... may l?

Give me a p ece of paper.

You have to meet them.

Go to this address.

They are good friends of mine.

Don't know how they do it, but they ve

been together for over 50 years.

Terr ble.

And still behave like newly weds.

After 50 years?

Yes. You see, they still have that tingling feeling.

A feeling of excitement, every day.

And they lived happ ly ever after.

Champagne!

lt's the same every evening,

his socks, goes to bed.

And who do you think l am?
