A farmer and his brand new bride were riding home from the chapel
 in a wagon pulled by a team of horses, when the older horse
 stumbled. The farmer said, "That's once."
 
 A little further along, the poor old horse stumbled again.
 The farmer said, "That's twice."
 
 After a little, while the poor old horse stumbled again. The
 farmer didn't say anything, but reached under the seat, pulled out
 a shotgun and shot the horse.
 
 His brand new bride raised all kind of hell with him, telling him,
 "That was an awful thing to do."
 
 The farmer said, "That's once."
