Thousands of jokes have been told about marriage and divorce. Exercises 61-68 are based on the following observations:
• "By all means, marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher. "—Socrates
• "My wife and I were happy for 20 years. Then we met." — Rodney Dangerfield
• "Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age. As your beauty fades, so will his eyesight."—Phyllis Diller
• "Why do Jewish divorces cost so much? Because they're worth it." — Henny Youngman
• "I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry." — Rita Rudner
• "For a while we pondered whether to take a vacation or get a divorce. We decided that a trip to Bermuda is over in two weeks, but a divorce is something you always have."— Woody Allen
If Socrates's thoughts about marriage are excluded, in how many ways can the remaining five jokes be ranked from best to worst?
