An elderly couple was flying to Hawaii for a two-week vacation to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Suddenly, the captain\u2019s voice came over the loudspeaker, \u201cLadies and gentlemen, I have some very bad news. Our engines have failed, and we\u2019ll need to make an emergency landing. Fortunately, I see an uncharted island below where we can try to land on the beach. However, it\u2019s likely we won\u2019t be rescued and might have to stay on this island permanently.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thanks to the flight crew\u2019s expertise, the plane safely touched down on the island. Still shaken by the ordeal, the husband asked, \u201cDid we already pay the credit card bill?\u201d<\/p>\n
The wife replied, \u201cOh no, I forgot to mail the payment.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then asked, \u201cAnd what about the medical bill from last month\u2019s hospital visit?\u201d<\/p>\n
She apologized, \u201cI didn\u2019t send that either, dear.\u201d<\/p>\n
The husband then pulled her into a tight embrace \u2014 their first in 50 years. When she pulled away and asked why, he smiled and said, \u201cBecause now they\u2019ll have to come find us!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
