One morning, a wife spots a note left by her husband on the fridge:
“My dear wife,
You surely must understand that I have certain desires that, given you’re 57 years old, you can no longer fulfill. I’m truly happy with you and cherish you as a wonderful wife.
So, after reading this letter, I hope you won’t misinterpret the fact that I’ll be spending the evening with my 19 – year – old secretary at the Comfort Inn Hotel.
Please don’t be distressed. I’ll be back home before midnight.”
When the man returned home late that night, he found the following note on the dining table:
Wife’s Note
“My dear husband,
I got your letter and appreciate your honesty about my age, 57. I’d like to seize this chance to remind you that you’re also 57.
As you’re aware, I’m a math teacher at our local college. I want to let you know that while you’re reading this, I’ll be at the Hotel Fiesta with Michael, one of my students who’s also the assistant tennis coach. He’s young, full of vitality, and just like your secretary, he’s 19 years old.
As a successful businessman with a great command of math, you’ll understand that we’re in a similar situation. But there’s one small difference – 19 divides into 57 many more times than 57 divides into 19. Thus, I won’t be back home until sometime tomorrow.”
