42 Years of Marriage

[Karl/Pa.]

A married couple, in their early 60s, was celebrating their 42nd wedding anniversary at quiet, romantic little restaurant.

Suddenly, a tiny beautiful Fairy appeared on their table. She said: “For being such an exemplary married couple and especially for being thoughtful and loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.”

“Oh, said the wife, I want to travel around the World with my Darling husband” The fairy waved her magic wand; and - poof! - Two tickets for the Queen Mary II luxury liner and Ten Thousand Dollars appeared in her hands.

Then it was the husband’s turn. He thought for a minute and said: “Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again. So I’m going with my mind and not my Heart. I’m sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me.”

The wife and the Fairy were shocked and disappointed. But a wish is a wish.

So, the Fairy waved her magic wand, and - Poof! - The husband became 92 years old.

The Moral of the story:

Men who are ungrateful bastards should remember; Fairies are female.
