Be Careful What You Wish For 

A couple had been married for 25 years and were celebrating their 60th birthdays, which fell on the same day. 

During the celebration a fairy appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple for all 25 years, she would give them one wish each. 

The wife wanted to travel around the world. The fairy waved her hand, and Boom! She had the tickets in her hand. 

Next, it was the husband's turn. He paused for a moment, then said shyly, "Well, I'd like to have a woman 30 years younger than me." 

The fairy picked up her wand, and Boom! He was ninety.
