A professor of mathematics sent a fax to
his wife. It read:
"Dear Wife: You must realize that you are 54
years old, and I have certain needs which you
are no longer able to satisfy. I am
otherwise happy with you as wife, and I
sincerely hope you will not be hurt or
offended to learn that by the time you
receive this letter, I will be at the Grand
Hotel with my 18-year-old teaching assistant.
I'll be home before midnight.
-- Your Husband"
When he arrived at the hotel, there was a
faxed letter waiting for him that read as
follows:
"Dear Husband:
You, too, are 54 years old, and
by the time you receive this letter, I will be
at the Breakwater Hotel with the 18-year-old
pool boy. Being the brilliant mathematician
that you are, you can easily appreciate the
fact that 18 goes into 54 a lot more times
than 54 goes into 18. Don't wait up."
