We’ve all heard the saying, “Don’t mess with someone who has a quick wit.” One man learned this lesson the hard way when he decided to confront his wife with a bold letter. What he didn’t expect was her brilliant and sassy response that left him speechless.
The man wrote a note to his wife, explaining that at 57, she could no longer meet his needs. He assured her he still valued her as a good wife but announced he would be spending the evening with his 19-year-old secretary at a hotel. He promised to be home by midnight.
When he returned, he found a note from his wife on the dining table. In her clever reply, she thanked him for his honesty about her age and reminded him that he, too, was 57. As a math teacher at the local college, she revealed she would be spending the evening with Michael, a 19-year-old student and assistant tennis coach.
With a touch of mathematical humor, she pointed out that while they were in similar situations, there was one key difference: “19 goes into 57 more times than 57 goes into 19.” She concluded by saying she wouldn’t be home until the next day.
The husband was left stunned, realizing he had underestimated his wife’s wit and intelligence. Her response was a perfect blend of humor and sharpness, proving that revenge can be both satisfying and clever.
This story is more than just a funny anecdote—it’s a reminder of the importance of respect and understanding in relationships. It also shows that age is just a number, and a quick mind is timeless. Here’s to all the clever spouses who know how to handle life’s challenges with grace and humor.
