After 40 years of marriage...

After 40 years of marriage...

A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their
40th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant..
Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table.
She said, 'For being such an exemplary married couple
and for being loving to each other for all this time, I
will grant you each a wish.'


The wife answered, 'Oh, I want to travel around the
world with my darling husband.

The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! - two
tickets for the Queen Mary II appeared in her hands.

The husband thought for a moment: 'Well, this is all very
romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again.
I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years
younger than me.

The wife and the fairy were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish.
So the fairy waved her magic wand and poof!....the husband became 92
years old.

The moral of this story:

Men who are ungrateful old farts should remember fairies are female......

I would have thought after 40 years of marriage he would wish for death.

The real Sea of Tranquility.

Perhaps the geography of a woman plays a part in such male motivations.

Between 18 and 20, a woman is like Africa. Half discovered, half-wild, naturally beautiful with fertile deltas.

Between 21 and 30, a woman is like America. Well developed and open to trade, especially for someone with cash.

Between 31 and 35, she is like India. Very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.

Between 36 and 40, a woman is like France. Gently aging but still a warm and desirable place to visit.

Between 41 and 50, she is like Yugoslavia. Lost the war, haunted by past mistakes. Massive reconstruction is now necessary.

Between 51 and 60, she is like Russia, Very wide and borders are un patrolled. The frigid climate keeps people away.

Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Mongolia. A glorious and all conquering past but alas, no future.

After 70, they become like Afghanistan. Everyone knows where it is, but no one wants to go there.



Ok. Ok. Before I get lynched by the women:

Between 15 and 90, a man is like Zimbabwe. Ruled by a dick."

Not too bad..

Well at 92 he'll be much closer to it.

Well at 92 he'll be much closer to it.

True enough, and she will only visit him in the home on Thursdays, apple sauce night.
