Well, it could be ... (spoiler alert I've put my answer below in white text - if you want to see my answer highlight the line below and it should) show up , if you want to keep trying the puzzle without seeing my answer you can:
My Answer: AFBW
I might, however, be taking this too seriously, and there's some witty answer I've missed?

Jeff I give up on yours .... Bri just tried to exlplain it to me five times and it had to do with "pair" ... me confuddled ... but here's another one ....
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.
Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Count them QUICKLY AND ONLY ONCE. Do not go back and count them again. What is your answer?

Nothing to do with 'pair' - its one of those that's obvious when you know! Its actually 2 puzzles - one about the birthday and then another puzzle about how they ended up marrying each other.
I'll give the solution some time tomorrow, to give anyone else a chance to have a go!
Jeff
p.s. FaerieB - 6 fs? (must confess that I've seen that one before.)

Well done to Doodles & LTT - the twins were born in the month of August, but in the town of March, Cambridgeshire.
They both grew up to be vicars, and officiated at each others wedding ceremony.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Here's another:
A man had worked in the same job for 17 years. One afternoon, he decided he'd had enough. He turned off all the lights, got in his car and drove off. He was never seen again. Regrettably, his actions led to the deaths of 243 people.
Explain?

Ah, but there's nothing to say that people died in the afternoon, is there? I mean, lets face it, if the ship had crashed into the lighthouse within minutes of the keeper vacating his position it would be a bit silly wouldn't it? Specially if it wasn't even dark ........ honestly, you really need to think these things throughIt can't be, he left 'one afternoon' so a lighthouse being off would be meaningless. Perhaps he was a traffic lights engineer?
