Just Married?

In the days of horses and carts a couple get hitched. On the ride home after the reception, the fellows horse keeps playing up, every 100 yards or so the horse would come to a dead stop for no apparent reason. The groom jumps from the cart, walks to the horses face, holding one finger up…”That’s ONE!” he yells, and quickly remounts up onto the buggy.

The bride shrugs this off, but another hundred yards down the track the horse comes to a dead stop once again, the ritual is repeated bar the groom holding two fingers to the horses eyes..”That’s TWO!” he shouts, then mounts the buggy.

The bride looks at her new husband warily as the horse comes yet to a third stand still. The groom jumps down from the cab, pulls out his shotgun, walks in front of the horse and shouts, “That’s THREE!” and shoots the horse dead.

The husband takes the yoke off the dead horse and calls his wife to him and proceeds to place the yoke on her shoulders. She can’t believe what is happening and starts crying. Her husband walks up to her face and raises one finger…”That’s ONE!”
