A young couples was preparing to set off on their honeymoons by train
The bridegroom said, "Wait here, dear, while I get the tickets."
And so he did, but long habit would not be denied
and he had not yet gotten used to the fact that it was no longer "just him" traveling.
He had bought only one round-trip ticket
He came rushing back to his bride, who looked at
the single ticket in his hand, her bright blue eyes promptly filling with tears.
The bridegroom looked at her with astonishment, then, with horror, at his ticket.
In the blink of an eye set all straight by saying, "Oh, darling,
silly me! In all the excitement over our honeymoon,
I completely forgot to buy a ticket for myself!"
