A husband and wife, both 60 years old, were celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary. During their party, a fairy appeared, to congratulate them and grant them each one wish. The wife wanted to travel around the world. The fairy waved her wand and, then, suddenly, the wife had a ticket in her hand for a world cruise. Next the fairy asked the husband what he wanted. He said, “I wish I had a wife 30 years younger than me.” So the fairy picked up her wand and, then, suddenly, the husband was 90.
