A Sign of Something Else?

From time to time my wife and I enjoy perusing an antique and consignment store in a nearby town. There are always interesting things to look at, the prices are fairly reasonable as well, and sometimes you can find something rather unique.

A lot of times there are signs or plaques that are quite intentional in making a joke. But sometimes you also happen to find a joke where one was, perhaps, not necessarily intended.

Of course, anyone who has been married for a while is all too aware that marriage is not all love and romance the likes of an untold number of movies and books about love. There are times when you even think, maybe I should just pack it in and call it a day. Is this even worth it?

But it is also the trials and tribulations and sour moments that actually serve more often than not to make a marriage stronger.

Coming upon one of the booths at the store there was a sign for sale that read, "All because two people fell in love." And right above it, a very large tree saw.

Naturally, if one has a bit of a sense of humor, right away you can see how the saw may imply something about that sign. Because while most of the time those sour moments in marriage do indeed make our marriages stronger, there are still times when the thought occurs that having a large tree saw around might come in handy.
