One fine morning, a wife stumbles upon a curious note left by her dear husband on the fridge. It begins, ‘My dear wife, you will surely understand that I have certain needs that you, being 57 years old, can no longer satisfy. I am very happy with you and value you as a good wife.’
Oh boy, here we go. The letter continues, ‘Therefore, after reading this, I hope that you will not wrongfully interpret the fact that I will be spending the evening with my 19-year-old secretary at the Comfort Inn hotel. Please don’t be upset – I shall be home before midnight.’
Now, imagine the gall of this guy. But wait, it gets better. When the man finally stumbles back home late that night, he finds a note on the dining table. And oh, what a note it is!
‘My dear husband, I received your letter and thank you for your honesty about me being 57 years old. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that you are also 57 years old. As you know, I am a maths teacher at our local college.’
Ouch! The wife continues, ‘I would like to inform you that while you read this, I will be at the Hotel Fiesta with Michael, one of my students, who is also the assistant tennis coach. He is young, virile, and, like your secretary, is 19 years old.’
If you thought that was juicy, brace yourself. She wraps up with a math lesson that would make Pythagoras proud: ‘As a successful businessman who has an excellent knowledge of maths, you will understand that we are in the same situation, although with one small difference – 19 goes into 57 more times than 57 goes into 19. Therefore, I will not be home until sometime tomorrow.’
Mic drop!
