What is Celibacy?

Celibacy can be a choice in life, or a condition imposed by circumstances.

While attending a Marriage Weekend, Walter and his wife, Ann, listened to the instructor declare, 'It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other.'

He then addressed the men, 'Can you name and describe your wife's favorite flower?'

Walter leaned over, touched Ann's arm gently, and whispered, 'Gold Medal-All-Purpose, isn't it?'

And thus began Walter's life of celibacy.


Thanks to David.

  1. ROFLMOA! This is an issue that crosses all gender boundaries, I must tell you, being (very marginally at the moment) newly involved as I am, holding my breath.

  2. So that's why we haven't heard from you. Good for you - marginally.

  6. If you have to explain a joke....

    I don't know what the brand name has to do with it. The instructor asked about favorite flower. The husband answered about favorite flour, which is used for baking, which means that he doesn't know the wife's favorite flower because he's not romantic and never gives her flowers.

    Thus the joke goes poof.

    "If you have to explain a joke...."

    Only because the word flour didn't appear in it.

    David, thanks for the link!

  8. Erika, my bad. I missed that. My humblest apology to you and all who are not from the egocentric capitol of the world. It was in my head and not in the post.

    I am not myself. My heart bleeds for Gaza.

  10. Actually he's celibate because her favorite flour is White Lily.

    Newly involved in gender? In flour? In flower? In celibacy? Inquiring minds, Scott!!!
