And likewise congratulations to you from me!  In these times when most of the
news is bad, it's great to share someone's joy!

Juha was talking to the complaints of a young friend of his who had recently
got married.
"You know how they say marriage is like a barrel of onions with honey at the
top?  My marriage has been onions from the very start!"
Juha looks at him.
"You opened the barrel at the wrong end!"
(Egyptians and other Arabs refer to marriage as being composed of honey and
onions - for obvious reasons.  Juha =Goha=Mullah Nasruddin=Nasredin ;)
