5437 - Long joke Sunday

A letter to the wife...

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 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 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 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 57 a lot more times than 57 goes into 18. 

Therefore, I will not be home until sometime tomorrow.

Ami - I like the snork.

She gets whole numbers while the husband just gets fractions.

Mike said...

Kirk - She did some better calculations than he did.

Bilbo said...

Old math. Sigh.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

Hahahahahaha! But they would both have to pay those 18 year olds a LOT of money. Let's be realistic.

Good lord, that's an old Sophie Tucker/Bette Midler joke.

VR - Good grief, how old are you VR? Sophie Tucker was big in the early 20th century. 😀

I could only watch so much of that Bette Midler clip. She can really beat a joke to death.

River said...

That's an old one, but it's been a while since I heard it.

Rajani Rehana said...

Good one

Mike said...

River - When you haven't got a good memory, all the jokes are new.

Mike said...

RR - I thought so too.

Cloudia said...

Seems fair

Mike said...

Cloudia - I think the two of them deserve each other.
