Wisdom from Grandpa...

* y8 t' z7 N, k) ~) V! f% s
Whether a man winds up with a nest egg, or a goose egg, depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries.

Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt that he forgets his sugar.
# D- c! V: K! A' h. U
Too many couples marry for better, or for worse, but not for good.

- @4 Z) m7 Y$ V2 g; Y* |3 Z/ eWhen a man marries a woman, they become one; but the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.

If a man has enough horse sense to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she will never turn into an old nag.

Many girls like to marry a military man - he can cook, sew, and make beds and is in good health, and he's already used to taking orders.
