This reminds me of the very wise counseling I was given by a Marine Col pal of mine.
- He was divorced, had been financially skinned-alive in the process, and was newly remarried to a very hot 23 yr-old whom I had just been introduced to.
- I was happily divorced, and swimming the endless seas of single young women....some of whom I had considered as possible candidates to be the next ex-Mrs.
He took me aside, looked me seriously in the eye, and said "Don't fuck up!"
- When I asked him to clarify, he said "I have a young wife, a new baby, I get no sleep, and I'll have to work now until I drop dead. I can never 'retire.' Don't fuck up like I did."
Wise words from a wise man. I never got bad advice from a Marine, btw.
- I did not fuck up. At least i haven't yet.....
After being married for 50 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, "Fifty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep with a hot 23-year-old girl every night. Now, I have a $500,000 home, a $45,000 car, a nice big bed and a large screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 69-year-old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things." My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV. Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy's problems.

Nice ending to that story.
Women are like that.
Congrats on getting to the 50th.

Funny joke but the arithmetic doesn't work. The wife should be 73 but it says"..sleeping with a 69-year-old women."
