His time was up...
An elderly RVing couple were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary with a party at their fifth wheel. Arriving guests noticed that the old man was crying, and found his overwhelming emotion touching.
The wife, too, noticed. "Why are you crying?" she asked.
"Do you remember the night we were kissing on your parents' front porch?" he asked.
"Yes, dear," she replied. "I'll never forget it." Dad came outside and told me to get inside immediately."
"Well, after you went inside, your dad told me that I had three choices about you. He reminded me that he was the judge in town and that he could kill me and get away with it . Or, he said, he could send me to jail for 50 years. He said my third choice was to marry you."
"I see," said his wife. "But why are you crying now?"
The man really began to sob. And then, gaining his composure, he said, "I'd be getting out today."
