Short but Sweet!
A 60 year old couple was celebrating their anniversary by shopping in an antique store. There they discovered an an elaborately decorated bottle that appeared to be, at least 100 years old.
After heated discussions as to whether the need for the item was as great as their impulse, they could not resist purchasing it. Although they both were aware that the price was exorbitant; they, however, agreed to spend a part of their meager savings for it.
They had visions of this particular object being the wundfall that would eventually relieve their financially challenged lifestyle somewhat.
Arriving at their modest home, the wife decided to clean the bottle before displaying it on their mantel. When she removed the cork stopper, a puff of smoke arose from the neck and a Genie appeared and spoke to both of them.
“For your fortitude in remaining together for more that 40 years, I am empowered to grant each of you one wish.” Turning to the wife, he asked what her hearts desire was. “I would like to take a cruise,” she replied. The Genie clapped his hands and handed her a ticket for a World Cruise.
He then asked the same of her partner who quickly replied, “I would like a wife who is 30 years younger than me.” Again, the Genie clapped his hands and this wish came true.
ADDENDUM:
The wife thoroughly enjoyed touring all over the World while her NINETY year old partner relaxed in the Shady Rest Nursing Home for IMPOVERISHED EX-HUSBANDS!
The moral of this Revelation is to invoke validity in the axiom; “Be careful what you wish for.”
