A Thanksgiving to Remember: When Laughter & Love Go Hand-in-Hand
After fifty years of marriage, this elderly couple had seen it all: endless laughter, daily routines, and plenty of playful teasing. Every morning, without fail, the husband would let out a giant fart as he rolled out of bed, followed by his signature laugh. His wife, used to this daily spectacle, would shake her head and warn him with a smile, “One day, you’re going to fart your guts out!”
On Thanksgiving morning, as she prepared the big meal, a mischievous idea popped into her head. With a sly grin, she grabbed a handful of turkey innards and quietly tiptoed into their bedroom. With a steady hand, she tucked the slimy pieces into his underwear, knowing exactly what was coming.
An hour later, the familiar sound of his trademark fart echoed through the house, followed by his signature laugh. But this time, the laugh was cut short, replaced by a panicked scream, and then… silence. After ten long minutes of eerie quiet, she waited with bated breath for him to appear.
When he finally stumbled downstairs, he looked pale, his fingers covered in something he clearly regretted touching. Clearing his throat, he sheepishly admitted, “Honey, I owe you an apology. You were right all these years—I finally farted my guts out.” Holding up his dirty fingers, he added, “But don’t worry. By the grace of God and these two fingers, I managed to shove them all back in.”
Fifty years of marriage had taught them that laughter was just as important as love. And that Thanksgiving morning, she had definitely given them both something to be thankful for.
