A Question Of Communication

A judge was interviewing a woman about her pending divorce. He asked, "What are the grounds for your divorce?

She replied, "About four acres with a little home in the middle of the property."

"No," said the judge. "I mean, what is the foundation of this case?"

"It's made of concrete, brick, and mortar," she responded.

"I mean," he continued, "What are your relations like?"

"I have an aunt and uncle in town, as well as my husband’s parents."

He said, "Do you have a grudge?"

"No," she replied. "Since we have a carport, we've never really needed one."

"Ma'am, has your husband ever beat you up?"

"Yes," she responded. "About twice a week he gets up earlier than I do."

Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, "Madame, why do you want a divorce?"

"I've never wanted a divorce," the woman replied. "My husband does. He says he just can't communicate with me."
