Every day you read in the papers a whole list of folks who are getting divorced. I guess there are lots of reasons for it, but I'll tell you one reason a lot of folks don't want to live together anymore. It's that they can't stand to look at each other across the breakfast table. No kidding. How long has it been since you looked at your wedding pictures? Dig them out. Look at them and then compare THAT couple with the couple that sat down to Sunday breakfast a couple of days ago. There are a lot of comedians making a lot of money out of this theme but it's too true to be funny. Once people get married too many of them just don't give a hoot. She comes down to breakfast and her hair looks like it's been done in the mixmaster, all sticking out like she stuck a wet toe in a hot socket. She is wearing an old pink housecoat that's torn and has pablum on the front and no make up. She looks like tugboat Annie on shore leave. When she was married she had an hourglass figure but now all that sand has gone to the bottom. And look at father. That athletic man who stood beside her on the big day used to be 45–32–38. Now he's 45 anyway you want to cut it and the great corporation hangs out over a low slung belt like a weather balloon teetering on a cliff. She asks him to shave and he says "why, who’s comin’ over?" He hasn't held a car door open for her since the wedding day and if she waits for this once familiar courtesy she'd freeze to death outside and he say "get in. It's not locked.” How about it? Am I right? Are you the same attractive gal your hubby married? And father, how about you? Sure we all wrinkled up and get gray, a few hairs may drop out but we can still all be attractive to our partners, if we really care. Remember, your appearance is like life. You just get out of it what you put into it and with father time chipping away at you, the job gets harder every day.
