Abe and Esther are flying to Australia for a two-week vacation to
celebrate their 40th anniversary. Suddenly, over the public address
system, the Captain announces, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have
some very bad news. Our engines have ceased functioning and we will
attempt an emergency landing. Luckily, I see an uncharted island below
us and we should be able to land on the beach. However, the odds are
that we may never be rescued and will have to live on the island for the
rest of our lives!"

Thanks to the skill of the flight crew, the plane lands safely on the
island. An hour later Abe turns to his wife and asks, "Esther, did we
pay our $5,000 PBS pledge check yet?"

"No, sweetheart," she responds.

Abe, still shaken from the crash landing, then asks, "Esther, did we
pay our American Express card yet?"

"Oh, no! I'm sorry. I forgot to send the check," she says.

"One last thing, Esther. Did you remember to send checks for the Visa
and MasterCard this month?" he asks.

"Oy, forgive me, Abie," begged Esther. "I didn't send that one,
either."

Abe grabs her and gives her the biggest kiss in 40 years. Esther pulls
away and asks him, "What was that for?"

Abe answers, "They'll find us!"
