Here's to Lisa
Married 33 years and still with me. 
Many folks have said many things about the great wife they have. One of my favorites is from The Getaway voiced by Slim Pickens:
"Ya know, if I's you kids what I'd do? I'd quit this runnin' around the country. Ya know, git a little bit a money together 'n, hell, buy a place 'n settle down 'n raise a family. I've been married for 35 years, same old gal; man she's a tough ol' hide. God dang, everything I am, I owe ta her."
The Irish have always been my favorite in the combination of wisdom, humor and composition of prose. IMHO their humor is highly prized.
An Irish Pub Joke...
An Irish man has been at a pub all night drinking. The bartender finally says that the bar is closed. So your man stands up to leave and falls flat on his face. He figures he'll crawl outside and get some fresh air and maybe that will sober him up.
Once outside he stands up but again falls flat on his face. He crawls home. Reaching the door he tries to stand up, and yet again, falls flat on his face. He crawls through the door and up the stairs. When he reaches his bed he summons the last of his strength and tries one final time to stand.
It's no use. He tumbles into bed and is soon sound asleep, only to awaken the next morning to the sound of his wife standing over him shouting. 'So... you've been out drinking again!'
'How did you know?' he asks, his head hung in shame.
'The pub called-- you left your damn wheelchair down there again!'

From Ogden Nash:
To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the wedding cup
Whenever you’re wrong, admit it;
Whenever you’re right, shut up.
From Hellen Keller:
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched; they must be felt.
An Irish wish for you Bachelors:
May you have nicer legs than yours under the table before the new spuds are up.
From Franklin P. Jones:
Here’s to the husband
And here’s to the wife
May they remain
Lovers for life
Love doesn’t make the world go ‘round
Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
For those you still dating:
May those that love us, love us.
And those that don’t love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if he doesn’t turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we’ll know them by their limping.
