After being married for 44 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said: “Honey, 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 21-year-old girl.

“Now I have a R2 000 000 home, a R800 000 car, a nice big bed and a 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. She told me to go out and find a hot 21-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 watch a 10-inch black and white TV.

Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve your mid-life crisis.
