MATH LESSON….
July 18th, 2005
A professor of mathematics sent a fax to his wife. It read:
“Dear Wife: You must realize that you are 54 years old, and I
have certain needs which you are no longer able to satisfy. I
am otherwise happy with you as wife, and I sincerely hope you
will not be hurt or offended to learn that by the time you
receive this letter, I will be at the Grand Hotel with my
18-year-old teaching assistant. I’ll be home before midnight.
— Your Husband”
When he arrived at the hotel, there was a faxed letter waiting
for him that read as follows:
“Dear Husband: You, too, are 54 years old, and by the time you
receive this letter, I will be at the Breakwater Hotel with the
18-year-old pool boy. Being the brilliant mathematician that you
are, you can easily appreciate the fact that 18 goes into 54 a
lot more times than 54 goes into 18. Don’t wait up.”
