      “His wife” could be a…let’s say, “euphemism” for something else. In which case, that ain’t rainwater falling…

      A few minutes before the services started, the townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.

      Soon everyone had exited the church except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seeming oblivious to the fact that God’s ultimate enemy was in his presence.

      So Satan walked up to the old man and said, “Don’t you know who I am?” The man replied, “Yep, sure do.”

      “Aren’t you afraid of me?” Satan asked.

      “Nope, sure ain’t,” said the man.

      “Don’t you realize I can kill you with a word?” asked Satan.

      “Don’t doubt it for a minute,” returned the old man, in an even tone.

      “Did you know that I could cause you profound, horrifying, physical AGONY… for all eternity?” persisted Satan.

      “Yep,” was the calm reply.

      “And you’re still not afraid?” asked Satan.

      “Nope.”

      More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, “Well, why aren’t you afraid of me?”

      The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for the last 48 years!!..

      I hadn’t heard the Wolf’s wife part, but I’d always heard said that it was a “Fox’s wedding”. Which is pretty similar. I’ve heard sunshower and that “The Devil’s beating his wife” but the fox one was more fun so it stuck with me.

    In russian we have a phrase “грибной дождь” (mushroom rain) for light warm rain in the sunshine.

    It’s the best weather for mushroom growth and is therefore a sign to go harvest them in the woods soon.

    I’ve decided I hate the domestic violence one. One I heard a while back is “a monkey’s wedding” and that has a much better mental image.
