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.
Since you are a mathematician, you will appreciate that 18 goes into
54 more times than 54 goes into 18. Therefore, don't wait up.
