Here's another one from a cruise I was on recently. This was during the "Love and Marriage Show":

Cruise Director (CD): Alright sir, if you could describe your 52 years of marriage in ONE word; what would that word be?

75-year old man (Guy): YES!

CD: WOW! What an enthusiastic answer... your marriage must be fabulous! I gotta ask, what one word would you follow that up with?

Guy: *in a very monotone voice* dear. Yes dear.

I about died .
