A SOLICITOR was conducting a preliminary interview with a woman who'd come in to inquire about a divorce. "So," he asked, "what are your grounds?"
She replied: "About four acres. Nice front garden, and a lovely pond at the bottom of the back garden."
"No," he said. "I mean, what's the foundation of your case?"
"Oh," she said, "I'm sure it's concrete, brick and mortar."
"I mean," he continued, "what are your relations like?"
"My parents still live just off the High Street, and my husband's mother's in a home."
He sighed: "Do you have a genuine grudge?"
"No," she replied. "A Ford Escort."
"Please," he tried again, "is there any infidelity in your marriage?"
"Yes, my son and daughter have stereos. They both want iPods, but we've said no."
"Madam, does your husband beat you up?"
"Yes," she answered. "Saturdays and Sundays he gets up earlier than I do."
Finally, in frustration, the solicitor asked: "Madam, why do you want a divorce?"
"Oh, 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."
Be encouraged!
