Mid-life crisis

After being married 25 years, I took a look at my wife and said, “Honey, do you realize that 25 years ago, I had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black-and-white TV, but got to sleep every night with a hot 25-year old blonde?”

“Now,” he continued, “we have a nice house, a nice car, a big bed and plasma screen TV, but I’m sleeping with a 50-year-old woman. It seems to me that you are not holding up your side of things!”

Now, my wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go 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, and sleeping on a sofa bed.

I shut up and took out the trash!

Older women really know how to solve your mid-life crisis…
