This wife awakens shortly after midnight, and doesn't find her husband in bed at her side.
When looking for him in the house she hears sobbing and crying out of the sitting room.
She finds her husband there, clutching half an empty bottle of whiskey and shedding tears galore.
"What annoys you, my dear?" she asks.
"Do you remember how your father trapped us together when you were just sixteen years old?"
"Oh yes, dear, I still do."
"And how he let me choose: either it is marriage or a sentence for 20 years?"
"But that was so long ago! What is the problem now?"

"TODAY I'D BE FREE!"
