One morning, a wife discovers a shocking letter from her husband, who explains that, at 57, she can no longer satisfy his needs. He casually informs her that he will be spending the evening with his 19-year-old secretary at a hotel, adding that he’ll be home before midnight. The nerve! But little does he know, his wife has a brilliant response ready for him.
When the husband returns home, he finds another note from his wife on the dining table. In it, she thanks him for his honesty and informs him that, like him, she is also 57 years old. She then reveals that she’s spending the evening at a hotel with Michael, a 19-year-old student and tennis coach.
Her witty comeback doesn’t stop there. She points out, as a math teacher, that 19 goes into 57 more times than 57 goes into 19. She declares she won’t be home until the next day, leaving him to stew in his own humiliation.
This clever retort not only outsmarts her husband but also teaches a lesson in self-respect and wit. The wife’s response is a humorous reminder that revenge, when done right, can be both satisfying and empowering.
