Wedding Bells Again for Amazing Woman

Woman with Sense of Humour Marries 23 Times Linda Wolfe, aged 68, who was first married at the age of 16, admits she became 'addicted to the romance' of getting hitched. Will and Guy note that grandmother, with 23 ex-husbands, has been recognised as the most married woman in the world. Mrs Wolfe from Anderson, Indiana, USA can no longer list her husbands in order but remembers the nicest was a Mr George Scott, her first and, at seven years, her longest marriage. We find it amusing to record that she has been single now for 12 years, her longest stint unmarried since childhood, 'But I would get married again,' she told us laughing, 'because, you know, it gets lonely.' More Funny Marriage Stories from Mrs Wolfe to Make You Smile

• Linda, once married the same man, Jack Gourley, three times.
• Her longest marriage lasted seven years. Her shortest was just 36 hours.
• Over the subsequent decades she married a one-eyed convict, a preacher, barmen, plumbers and musicians.
• Two were homeless and one beat her.  Another put a padlock on her fridge.

Her last marriage, a decade ago, was a publicity stunt. It was to Glynn Wolfe, who in taking Linda as his bride meant he was the world's most married man, at 29 times. He died a year later aged 88.

Good Insurance Policy?

Hooligans had set fire to a farmer's haystack which then spread to his barn. While he surveyed the wreckage, his wife 'phoned their insurance company and asked them to send a check for £30,000, [$60,000 USD] the amount of insurance on the barn. 'We don't give you the money,' a company official explained. We replace the barn and all the equipment in it.' 'In that case,' replied the wife, 'cancel the policy I have on my husband.'

An Unbelievable Marriage Story

If Your Wife is a Nag Will and Guy have discovered an allegedly true but outrageous marriage story. Hitting on the novel idea that he could end his wife's incessant nagging by giving her a good scare, Hungarian Jake Fen built an elaborate harness to make it look as if he had hanged himself. When his wife came home and saw him she fainted. Apparently on hearing a disturbance their neighbour came over and, finding what she thought were two corpses, seized the opportunity to loot the place. As she was leaving the room, her arms laden, the outraged and suspended Mr Fen kicked her stoutly in the backside. This so surprised the lady that she dropped dead of a heart attack. We can confirm that Mr Fen was acquitted of manslaughter and he and his wife have been reconciled.

Marriage and Husbands

'Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is usually the husband.' When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. Somehow I always had something else to take care of first: the truck, the car, email, fishing, always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a few minutes. When I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. 'When you finish cutting the grass,' I said, 'you might as well sweep the driveway.' The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

A Heavenly Marriage

An elderly Italian man lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favourite Italian anisette sprinkle cookies wafting up the stairs. Gathering his remaining strength, he lifted himself from the bed. Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort, gripping the railing with both hands he crawled downstairs. With laboured breath, he leaned against the doorframe, gazing into the kitchen. Where it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven, for there, spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favourite anisette sprinkled cookies. Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted Italian wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man? Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself towards the table, landing on his knees in a crumpled posture. His parched lips parted, the wondrous taste of the cookie was already in his mouth, seemingly bringing him back to life. The aged and withered hand trembled on its way to a cookie at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife..... 'Back off!' she said, 'they're for the funeral.'

3. My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 6.4 seconds.' I bought her a scale. And then the fight started...

5. A woman was looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's absolutely perfect.' And then the fight started.....
