Joke of the Day – delivered by Yurania Causey

A man married a very beautiful woman and found that it was costing him vast sums of much money to keep her supplied with jewels and fancy clothes. When he discovered that she was stepping out on him, he cut his losses and divorced her. He then married another very beautiful woman who spent lots of money keeping herself happy with fine jewelry and beautiful clothes. When he discovered that she was stepping out on him, he cut his losses and divorced her. He then decided to marry a very ugly woman. After awhile he was puzzled that it cost him about the same amount of money even though she wasn’t buying jewelry or fancy clothes. Then he discovered that she was stepping out on him -- and had to pay for all the dates.

Another great meeting and a good time was had by all!
