There was this man, let´s call him Ben. He knew two women who wanted to marry him.
One was very beautiful but she was not very brilliant and often bad tempered.
The other was rather ugly but she was brilliant, kind and she could sing very beautifully.
So Ben asked his old friend: Whom should I marry?
His friend said: Well it is your choice, but in the long run I think the ugly one would be better. Beauty fades away, so I would choose the ugly girl, she is kind and she can sing so beautifully.
So Ben decided to follow the advice and married the ugly girl.
When he woke up the morning after the wedding day he looked down at his bride.
Then he began to shake her awake: Sing, woman, sing!!!

IN THE WAITING ROOM
I was sitting in the waiting room of the hospital after my wife had gone into labour and the nurse walked out and said to the man sitting next to me, "Congratulations sir, you're the new father of twins!"
The man replied, "How about that, I work for the Doublemint Chewing Gum Company." The man then followed the woman to his wife's room.
About an hour later, the same nurse entered the waiting room and announced that Mr. Smith's wife has just had triplets. Mr. Smith stood up and said, "Well, how do ya like that, I work for the 3M Company."
The gentleman that was sitting next to me then got up and started to leave. When I asked him why he was leaving, he remarked, "I think I need a breath of fresh air."
The man continued, "I work for 7-UP."

well
as i think the male community always thinks they are in need of a cute beautiful bride????
but in real life sprangly some people find such a bride
who is beautiful understanding etc .... so i prefer not to go beauty wise for choosing a girl, but u should see her heart rather than her beauty as beauty doesn't remain forever!!

hahaha ben ordered the woman to sing to look beautiful.. Well the outside appearance doesn't really matter. What matters most is what's inside the person. The purity of the heart.. The advice of ben's friend is right. Good thing ben followed his friend. If he chose to marry the beautiful then they would always quarrel since she's bad tempered. While the other one was kind and brilliant too! since the ugly one is brilliant then she can think of ways in order to make herself look good,feel good and be beautiful!
