When we first get married, we spend some years living in youthful bliss with our wives. During that time, we tend to roll with the punches and if something seems to go wrong, it is only because we are ‘having a bad day’. As we get older, however, we start to learn a thing or two about our spouse and sometimes, we feel that we know them better then they know themselves. Of course, our spouse is also sometimes going to throw us a curve and that is what we see in the following joke. It is hilarious, not only because of the punchline but because we have all lived it.
After being married for 50 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, “Fifty years ago we had a cheap house, a junky car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV. But hey I got to sleep every night with a hottie, a 23-year-old girl.
Now … I have a $750,000 home, a $45,000 car, a nice big bed and a large screen TV, but I’m sleeping with a 73-year-old woman. So I said to my wife “it seems to me that you’re not holding up your side of things.”
My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.
Aren’t older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy’s problems.
