The Note On The Refrigerator Read:
My Darling Wife,
You will surely understand that I have certain needs that you, being
54 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 Hilton Hotel.
Please don't be upset and I shall be home before midnight.
Roger
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
Marriott Hotel 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.
Sybil
