A husband leaves a note for his wife, explaining that because she is 57 years old and can no longer satisfy his “certain needs,” he’ll be spending the evening with his 19-year-old secretary — but not to worry, he’ll be home before midnight.
The wife replies with a clever note of her own: she points out that he is also 57, and as a math teacher, she reminds him that 19 goes into 57 more times than 57 goes into 19. She tells him she will be at a hotel with her 19-year-old student (who’s also an assistant tennis coach), and therefore, she won’t be home until sometime tomorrow.
The story humorously shows the wife outsmarting her husband with math and wit.
