After being married for 44 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, '44 years ago we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white tv, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 25-year-old girl".

Now I have a $1,500,000 home, a $45,000 car, a nice big bed and plasma screen tv, but I'm sleeping with a 65-year-old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things.'

My wife is a very reasonable woman. Calmly, she told me to go out and find a hot 25-year-old girl ... 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.

Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve your mid-life crises and put life into perspective.

That was pretty good... And how sad it is that it's the Truth of things...

If he was sleeping with a hot 25-year old 44 years ago, and is sleeping with a 65 year old now, he either had an affair 44 years ago, or he's having one now.

Also, I might just have destroyed your funny joke by adding math and logic. Sorry 'bout that.

Well, he said he can't really tell a joke. I guess he means it.

Or maybe I just discovered the joke-version of the uncertainty principle...

Nah.

Heisenberg would be rotating at a high rpm in his grave.

(As an aside, is it possible to use people turning in their graves as a power source? Must explore further.)

Try attaching some magnets to him...

Not only is that a funny joke but it also bites close to the actual truth.

On a serious note, the wonderful thing about being married for 40 years (41 in Dec.) is the ability to grow old together, to reminisce about the past while looking forward to a few more great years as a couple. Needless to say we have been VERY fortunate to stay together despite all the pros and cons, ups and downs, etc., of a long term relationship. But, I wouldn't trade it for the world. And I certainly do not need OR want a 25 year old chickee-poo on the side. For goodness' sakes! I have 4 children older than that!

Congrats... My parents celebrated 40 years this past spring...

Married life isn't like it was back then... People just aren't committed anymore... And they don't realize that you change as you age and Marriage takes work... For those of us who do believe in the old ways, we can only go so long until we realize that we are the only one fighting for the relationship...

She was looking over your shoulder when you typed this, wasn't she???

So:
. . .Jim has been on this board longer than me
. . .He's been married longer than me (by 6 years)
. . .He has more kids
. . .He has more posts
. . .He has more avatars

Damn. . .this sucks.

1. Baf - you could be my son! That would be soooo cool.

2. How did you know my wife was looking over my shoulder?

3. Sorry, Gary, but that's just the way it is. On a positive note, I am probably older than you, so keep thinking about that!

My old man was born in '47. You ain't that old. Sorry, but you're only Jim The Middle-Aged Guy from now on. Or JTMAG, if you will.

...And why can't I shake this image of dead people rotating?

I really need to get back to writing again soon.
