Pinto Beans
When my wife and I got married we put a pinto bean in a jar every time
we "did it" for the first year we were married. Then the next year we took a bean out of the jar every time we "did it" to see if we were "doing it" more or less. We've been married thirty years now, I'm still taking beans out of the jar! |

I wonder why, if they concluded that they didn't "do it more" in year two, does he continue to remove beans after thirty years? Has he counted the beans to make sure it hasn't been tampered with? So many important questions...so little time... -- If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn’t help the poor, either we’ve got to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we’ve got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition, and then admit that we just don’t want to do it. Stephen Colbert (via videcormeum) |

You're the first person I know who ever said they did the bean jar experiment. I used to beg new brides to try it but they all just laughed. They way I heard it, you'd never empty the jar in the second year of marriage. Thirty years tho is really surprising. |

Lou may have been married 30 years, but I first heard that joke 45 years ago. |

I first heard that one with nickels in the jar. Must have been 30+ years ago. I bet the first time it was ever told it was pebbles in a woven basket because ceramics had not yet been invented. It's a story as old as the institution of marriage, but it's a fictional story. > You're the first person I know who ever said they did the bean jar > experiment.

I doubt he actually put beans in the jar or otherwise counted. It's a joke. I know a fair number of men who if their marriage got that bad they would get divorced. I know at least a couple friends who had it at the top of their list of reasons justifying filing for divorce. |

I love pinto beans. Some people won't eat them because they are also cattle food. We ate them because it was cheap eats, now I eat them because I love them. My favorite way to prepare pinto beans is this: I don't soak them. Put the beans, one onion - chopped small, ham hocks or ham ends and pieces, a bit of salt and black pepper in a large pot and bring to a boil. Turn down and simmer slowly and gently until beans are quite soft but not falling apart, you want plenty of good juice. But you want the juice to be barely thickening. Remove the ham bones, dice or pull apart the ham and add it back to the beans, more ham is even better. Make some of my golden cornbread, split a peiece and butter it, top it with a generous amount of the beans and ham, ladle some juice over and top with chopped green onions and serve with a bit of chow chow on the side. ( I make a hot pepper relish I like better than chow chow). Deeelicious. old time Southern goodness. Po folks food. |

It would be my number one, two and three. It's a shame when there is a mismatch between someone who loves lots of sex, and someone who does not. --Bryan |

My first plant manager in my first real job was from Chicago. I went to work for him in early 1970. Before I got married in late 1970, he told me what you just did. He even used beans but not 'pinto beans'. It's my duty to confirm that this allegory is not only true but that it has been updated. leo |

I like more meat in it so we make sure the ham bone is meaty. Last week we made the beans with a smoked turkey leg and that came out all right. Becca also makes a Mexican version by adding some cumin,chili powder, diced tomatoes, peppers and other mysterious and secret ingredients. We've only been married 5 years so she doesn't trust me enough yet to give me the recipe. <vbg> George L |

(15 years ago) When they met he made three times what she made but she rose up the ladder and was making more than him. Along the way she lost interest in sex and he got bored and left. They had what most of us can only dream of but it wasn't enough for his willie. Another friend used sex as a weapon and we're close enough I told her 15 years ago she was wrong. Her husband left a year ago and she was shocked! Right or wrong sex makes people do things. Sometimes not in their best interest. Lou |

Joke that kind of fits my personality now: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A programmer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week." The programmer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want." Again the programmer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?" The programmer said, "Look I'm a programmer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool." ------------------------------------------------------------------- ;-O |

Divorce rules change at that point so he went from not getting screwed by his wife to getting screwed by the courts. |
