I'm sleeping with a 50-year-old woman.

My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and
find a hot 25-year-old blonde, and she would make sure that I
would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap
car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and
white TV.

(Not a true story ;-)

One thing I found out was the wrong thing to say to my wife (going on 38
years)--- I woke up in the morning, stretched and said to her, "boy, I
feel like a 25 year old ----- but there's never one around when you need
her."

Just the other day, I really put my foot in it. I was being dragged
around the shopping malls by SWMBO, and she went into some botique to
get a tiny tube of something. As the cashier was ringing it up, I saw
that it cost almost $100 US!!

I looked at the ingredients (being the cynic I am), and said "You know,
this stuff is just oils and perfume! Whats it for?? She said "Its
anti-wrinkle cream" and I said "For a HUNDRED BUCKS?? I mean, it
doesn't even w....."

Her look alone stopped me in my tracks, but not soon enough. I'm going
to be paying for this for years to come.
