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."
