I am very happy with you and I value >you as a good wife. Therefore, after reading this letter, I hope that you >will not wrongly interpret the fact that I will be spending the evening >with my 18 year old secretary at the Comfort Inn Hotel.Please don't be >upset, I shall be home before midnight.' When the man came home late that >night, he found the following letter on the dining room table: 'My Dear >Husband, I received your letter and thank you for your honesty about my >being 54 years old. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you >that you are also 54 years old. As you know, I am a math teacher at our >local college. 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 18 >years old. As a successful businessman who has an excellent knowledge of >math, you will understand that we are in the same situation, although with >one small difference; 18 goes into 54 a lot more times than 54 goes into >18.Therefore, I will not be home until sometime tomorrow.' > |
