Wedding Night Secret
Mark
was delighted when he found a young woman who accepted his proposal of marriage
as he was sensitive about his wooden leg and a bit afraid no one would have him.
In fact, he couldn't bring himself to tell his fiancée' about his leg when he
slipped the ring on her finger, nor when she bought the dress, nor when they
picked the time and place. All he kept saying was, "Darling, I've got a big
surprise for you," at which she blushed and smiled bewitchingly.
The
wedding night came and went, and the young couple were at last alone in their
hotel room. "Now don't forget, Mark, you promised me a big surprise,"
said the bride. Unable to say a word, Mark turned out the lights, unstrapped his
wooden leg, slipped into bed, and placed his wife's hand on the stump. "Hmmmmm,"
she said softly, "that IS a surprise. But pass me the Vaseline and I'll see
what I can do!"
