One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river. When he cried out,

The Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?"

The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into the water, and he needed the axe to make his living. The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

The woodcutter replied, "No."

The Lord again went down and came up with a silver axe.

"Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."

The Lord went down again and came up with an iron axe.

"Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

The woodcutter replied, "Yes."

The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happy.

Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him,

"Why are you crying?"

"Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!"

The Lord went down into the water and came up with Jennifer Lopez. "Is this your wife?" the Lord asked.

"Yes," cried the woodcutter.

The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"

The woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to Jennifer Lopez, You would have come up with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Then if I also said 'no' to her, you would have come up with my wife. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I am a poor man, and am not able to take care of all three wives, so THAT'S why I said yes to Jennifer Lopez."

The moral of this story is: Whenever a man lies, it is for a good and honourable reason, and for the benefit of others.

That's their story, and they're sticking to it.

:laughing: Reminds me of the Faries in A Link to the Past. "I like an honest person, I shall give you something better in return." :P

Yeah, and women are forthright and honest in all their dealings with other human beings. Sure.

"I do not want my bottle filled with snot that restores my magic power when I drink it, and I prefer the color blue to red. That's why I said 'not at all'."

You know, I guess the joke makes sense either way, and is funny either way, but the first time I read it I thought he was afraid of getting three copies of his wife... "Lord, I can barely stand one of her, much less three... so I'll just take Jennifer Lopez instead"... hehe ^.^
