Thanks, Jeff, most interesting and instructive. So it was a joke. I didn't get it, but perhaps I should have: I grew up in that part of the world and I know it really is true that they have their own sense of humor up there, marked by a streak of self-mockery that is refreshingly un-pompous but can veer perilously close to self-accusation. I wish all good things to Paul Brouillard and trust that his friends will recognize that he spoke out of deep-seated devotion to his wife. In perspective, it sounds like a life--and a marriage-well lived.
