A couple, married for 25 years, was celebrating their shared 60th birthday.
During the festivities, a fairy appeared. "For being such a loving couple," she said, "I grant each of you one wish."
The wife wished to travel the world. The fairy waved her hand—Boom!—and plane tickets appeared in the wife's hand.
Then it was the husband's turn. After a thoughtful pause, he said shyly, "I'd like a woman 30 years younger than me."
The fairy raised her wand—Boom!—and the husband turned ninety.
