The Magic Wand

A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 35th wedding
anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant. Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table saying, 'For being such an exemplary married couple and for being so loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.'

'Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband.'
The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! Two tickets for the Queen Mary II appeared in her hands.

The husband thought for a moment: 'Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again. I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than I.'

The wife and the fairy were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish.
So the fairy waved her magic wand and - poof - the husband became 92 years old.

The moral of this story: Men who are ungrateful should remember fairies are female.
