I'd been living with my wife for eight years and one night "mom" says, "I guess you guys are never gonna get married.I mean, you've been through jail together, you're living together, but...oh, forget it."
"Oh, well," I said, "put it like that and I'll marry your daughter tomorrow."
Actually, I don't know what we were waiting for, except that for a guy it's never, the right time to get married.I'm also suspicious of any two people who don't struggle with that decision Part of my problem was that I was still lusting in my heart after other ladies.But somehow I knew that I wasn't going to find another woman remotely as great as my soon-to-be wife.It's a good thing my mother-in-law finally spoke up.
I finally gathered my courage one day when we were having a picnic, and popped the question.I also gave my wife a big tourist pamphlet about Switzerland.I wasn't taking any chances.
She said no.
It killed me. I felt sick to my stomach. I lost my appetite. Our dog just stared at me,
thinking, "If you're not going to eat your lunch, I will." Finally, I said, "But the Switzerland trip is yours if you say yes."
"Switzerland," she said, "is filled with precise, humorless people."
"Maybe I should have suggested Paris?"
For a minute it seemed as if my change in travel plans would rate a solid "maybe". But she said no again.
When we woke up the next morning, she told me that she'd slept on my proposal. "I guess I was a little rude to you last night," she explained. Meanwhile, I'm figuring I'm off the hook for this marriage thing for at least another eight years. I could afford to be generous.
"I asked, you said no. It's okay," I said. I might have looked a little too relieved be-cause later that day she gave me a little box. Inside was a gold watch. On the back was in-scribed. "Yes I've reconsidered."
I liked the watch, so I did the right thing.
The reason why the man had waited so long was that he______.

A. didn't think eight years was long enough
B. suspected that husband and wife would often quarrel
C. didn't think he was ready to propose to her
D. was waiting for his mother-in-law's approval

There is generally no problem in using US dollars in Canada, but this is never possible in reverse.
It's useful always to carry small change for things like exact fare buses, but do not cary large sums of cash. Instead keep the bulk of your money in travellers' cheques which can be purchased both in the US and abroad and should be in dollar denominations. The best known cheques are those of American Express, so you will have the least difficulty cashing these, even in out of the way places. Thomas Cook travellers' cheques are also acceptable, especially as lost ones can be reclaimed at some car rental companies. Dollar denomination cheques can be used like regular money. There's no need to cash them at a bank: use them instead to pay for meals, supermarket purchases or whatever. Ten or twenty dollar cheques are accepted like this almost always and you'll be given change just as though you'd presented the cashier with dollar bills. Be prepared to show I.D. when you cash your cheques.
Credit cards can be even more valuable than travellers' cheques, as they are often used to guarantee room reservations over the phone and are accepted in lieu of deposit when renting a car--indeed without a credit card you may be considered so untrustworthy that not only a deposit but your passport will be held as security too. The major credit cards are VISA, Master Charge and Access, Diners Club and American Express. If you hold a bank card, it could well be worthwhile to increase your credit limit for travel purposes--you should ask your bank manager.
