One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, he lost his grip and his ax fell into the water.

When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying out?" The woodcutter replied that his ax has fallen into water, and he needed the ax to make his living.

The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden ax. "Is this your ax ?" the Lord asked.

The woodcutter replied, "No, it is not."

The Lord again went down and came up with a silver ax "Is this your ax ?" the Lord asked.

Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."

The Lord went down again and came up with an iron ax. "Is this your ax ?" 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 out?"

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

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

"Yes," cried the woodcutter with obvious glee.

The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is not the truth!"

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 honorable reason, and for the benefit of others.

That's our story, and we're sticking to it! 8)

Old Age and Treachery will outperform Youth and Inexperence. The thing is, getting older is starting to be painful.
