His Letter Seemed Clever… Until His Wife Replied
A businessman sends a fax to his wife:
“To my dear wife: You surely understand that I have certain needs which you, now that you are 54 years old, can no longer satisfy. I am very happy with you and appreciate you as a good wife. Therefore, I hope you will not misunderstand when you learn from this fax that I will be at the Comfort Inn Hotel with Vanessa, my 18-year-old secretary. But don’t worry. I will be home before midnight.”
When the man comes home, he finds the following letter on the dining room table:
“My dear husband: I received your fax and thank you very much for your honesty. On this occasion, I would like to remind you that you are now also 54 years old. At the same time, I would like to inform you that while you are reading this letter, I will be at the Hotel Fiesta with Michel, my tennis coach, who, like your secretary, is also 18 years old. As a successful businessman and with your excellent knowledge of mathematics, you naturally understand that we are in the same situation… however, with one small difference: 18 goes into 54 more often than 54 into 18… And therefore, consequently, you shouldn’t expect to see me before tomorrow morning! A big kiss from your wife, who truly understands you…”
