Having spent a whole 60 years in the game and in marriage, Soot Zimmer on Tampa bay times had a very nice answer on how to survive marriage for 6 decades.
‘I don’t think my wife could stand me if I was home all day long. I don’t know how to pound a nail into a piece of wood or fix a toilet. Someone asked me how I stayed married for 60 years. I’m gone half the time.”
