Be Careful What You Wish For
A man and his wife are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. They're both in their mid-60s. As they’re enjoying dinner, a Fairy Godmother suddenly appears at their table.
She smiles and says, “You two have been such a loving couple for so long, I’m going to grant each of you one wish—whatever your heart desires most.”
The wife thinks for a moment and says, “I’d love to take a trip around the world with my husband, the best man in the world.”
Poof! In an instant, two first-class tickets appear for a six-month, all-expenses-paid tour across Europe, Africa, Australia, Hawaii—you name it.
Then the Fairy Godmother turns to the husband and asks, “And what about you?”
He pauses, then says, “I’m really sorry, honey... but what I want most is a wife who’s 30 years younger than me.”
The wife gasps and bursts into tears.
The Fairy Godmother raises an eyebrow. “Are you sure?”
“I’m sure,” the man says.
She sighs, shrugs sadly, and says, “So be it.”
Poof. The man is now 95 years old.
