Respectfully Cheating

Jack and Betty are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.
Betty, I was wondering -- have you ever cheated on me?
Oh Jack, why would you ask such a question now? You don't want to ask that
question...
Yes, Betty, I really want to know. Please.
Well, all right. Yes, 3 times.
Three? When were they?
Well, Jack, remember when you were 35 years old and you really wanted to
start the business on your own and no bank would give you a loan? Remember how
one day the bank president himself came over to the house and signed the loan
papers, no questions asked?
Oh, Betty, you did that for me! I respect you even more than ever, that you
would do such a thing for me! So, when were number 2?
Well, Jack, remember when you had that last heart attack and you needed that
very tricky operation, and no surgeon would touch you? Remember how Dr. DeBakey
came all the way up here, to do the surgery himself, and then you were in good
shape again?
I can't believe it! Betty, I love that you should do such a thing for me, to
save my life! I couldn't have a more wonderful wife. To do such a thing, you
must really love me darling. I couldn't be more moved. When were number 3?
Well, Jack, remember a few years ago, when you really wanted to be president
of the golf club and you were 17 votes short?
