An elderly couple, who were both widowed, had been going out with each other for a long time. Urged on by their friends, they decided it was finally time to discuss marriage.


So they went out to dinner and had a long conversation regarding how their marriage might work. They discussed finance, living arrangements, and so on.



Finally, the old gentleman decided it was time to broach the subject of their physical relationship.

'How do you feel about sex?' he asked, rather trustingly.

'Well,' she said, responding very carefully, 'I'd have to say - I would like it infrequently.'



The old gentleman sat quietly for a moment, then looking over his glasses, he casually asked, 'Is that one or two words?'

It took me a second, but I finally got it.
