A husband and wife had been married many many years.

They made an appointment with their Dr.

because it seemed like they were always tired.

The Dr. took both of them and gave them each a thorough checkup.

Then, he took them both into his office to give them the news.

He starts out by telling them that he sees only 1 reason that they are so tired all the time.

At your age, you have got to stop getting together so often.

If you dont stop it, youre both gonna die! It seems that the couple had this habit of making love to each other each and every day since the day they were married, some 65 years ago.

The Dr. says to them that although its great to be active, they have to be practical about things, they are both over 90 years old and too much of that kind of activity will do them in. Well, they take his advice to heart and make different sleeping arrangements.

She sleeps in their bedroom upstairs and, he, not wanting to be tempted, sleeps on the couch downstairs.

Some time goes by and, the tension between them is so thick you could almost cut it with a knife. One night, hes decided he cant take it anymore, he just has to get together with his bride. He slowly starts sneaking upstairs only to see her sneaking down the stairs.

Startled, he asks her just what she is doing.

Her response, I was coming downstairs to die. She in turn asks him, what were you doing? His answer, I was coming upstairs to kill you. Thank you Mr. Andy Griffith for this joke.
