Anniversary
A guy says, "For our Twentieth Anniversary, I'm taking my wife to Australia."

His friend says, "That's going to be tough to beat. What are you going to do for your Twenty-fifth Anniversary?"

The first guy says, "I'm going to go back and get her."

The village blacksmith finally found an apprentice willing to work hard at low pay for long hours.

The apprentice did just as he told. Now he's the village blacksmith.
