Reality: Married People Report Better Mental Health
Married people are much happier than any other group of people, and they report lower levels of depression and distress. Forty percent say they are "very happy" with their lives, compared to 25 percent of single people. And those who are married are half as likely to say they are unhappy with their lives.

Reality: Married People Live Longer
Mortality rates for single men are 250 percent higher than for married men, while mortality rates for single women are 50 percent higher than married women. Based on life expectancies, nine of 10 married men and women alive at 48 are alive at 65, while only six of 10 single men and eight of 10 single women make it to 65.

With this being said,

My dad is hilarious.  I get an e-mail yesterday with the subject heading: Joke

1.  A man is dying of Cancer.  His son asked him, " Dad, why do u keep telling people u're dying of AIDS?

        Dad answers: " So when I'm dead no one will dare touch your mom!"

2.  Three Feelings: What's the difference between stress, tension and panic? 

        Stress is when wife is pregnant, 
        Tension is when girlfriend is pregnant,and 
        Panic is when both are pregnant.

A taste of fatherhood. 

<fatherhood> For the past 2-3 days, I've been taking care of Uncle's 10 year old son.  I took the plane back with him to Miami and was mistaken for his father TWICE on the plane. 

1)  Flight attendant: "Are you sure your father (looking at me) wants you to drink all this Sprite without finishing your food?"

2)  Another attendant: "Gasp, Are you the father of the boy who lost his mp3 player?!" 

Do I really look that old?  If I have a 10 year old son, that means I had him when I was 13.  According to Asheesh, I got the the kid, but not the fun beforehand.  So I've been waking up at 7:20am, cooking breakfast, taking the kid to school, picking up the kid from babysitter's place after work, cooking dinner, checking homework, tucking him into bed, and getting his clothes ready for the next morning.  Fatherhood.  Trouble.
