We may receive many different types of letters in our lifetime. Some of those letters may come from people that we care about deeply and others may come from a rather neutral source. We may even get letters from people who are looking to collect money, and those tend to be some of the more annoying that we receive. One of the letters that we never want to get, however, is a letter from our significant other that breaks the bond between the two of us. In the following joke, a woman receives such a letter but she snaps back in style.
A husband wrote the following letter for his wife and left it on the dining room table:
“To My Dear 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 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.”
