Just picked my wife up from work and popped down to the Chemist to get her something for her head-cold. She was feeling tired and miserable and looking a bit worse for the wear and still in her work clothes.
We needed a few grocery items so called around to the Supermarket. After wandering around and getting what we needed we approached the check-out. While I was finishing unloading onto the conveyer, the young chap behind the counter picked up the hair colouring my wife had got and looking at me joked how it would suit me. (I've got a very short No.2). So agreeing I needed something to "cover my greys", he said at 22 he already had a few himself. I looked at him and said, "You know, I'm 30 years older than you." He looked shocked and said, "No way!" I said, "I'll be 53 next month," and he reckoned there's no way I looked anywhere like that old!
So I said, "We've been married 33 years!" He said, "Who too?" I pointed to my wife... His jaw nearly hit the floor!
He topped our day when he exclaimed, "What was she, like 9 years old???!!!!"
My wife came home feeling so much better...!!!
