Though her husband often went on business trips, she hated to be left
alone.
"I've solved our problem," he said. "I've bought you a St. Bernard. It's
name is Great Reluctance."
"Now when I go away, you shall know that I am leaving you with Great
Reluctance!"
She hit him with a waffle iron.
"Do you love me?" she asked.
"Of course," he said.
"Do you really love me?" she asked.
"Of course," he said.
"Do you really, really love me?" she asked.
"No," he said.
"Do you love me?" she asked.
"Of course," he said.
So she asked no more.
They had named their great dane "Good Authority."
One day, she asked her husband if he had seen her new belt.
"Belt?" he said. "Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was a dog collar. I have
it on Good Authority."
Shortly thereafter, their marriage began to go downhill.
Her real name was Dorothy Fledermaus. But all her friends called her
"Dee".
Thus, she was frequently referred to as "Dee Fledermaus."
