husband wrote the following letter for his wife and left it on the dining room table:

To My Dear Wife,

You will surely understand that I have certain needs that you, being 54
years old, can no longer satisfy. I am very happy with you and Ivalue you as a good wife. Therefore, after reading this letter, I hope that you will
not wrongly interpret the fact that I will be spending the evening with my
18-year-old secretary at the Comfort Inn Hotel. Please don't be upset - I
shall be home before midnight.

When the man came home late that night, he found the following letter on
the dining room table:

My Dear Husband,

I received your letter and thank you for your honesty. I want to remind
you that you are also 54 years old. As you know, I am a math teacher at our
local college. I would like to inform you that while you read this, I am at
the Hotel Fiesta with Michael, one of my students, who is also the
assistant tennis coach. He is young, virile, and like your secretary, is 18
years old. As a successful businessman who has an excellent knowledge of
math, you will understand that we are in the same situation, although with
one small difference - 18 goes into 54 a lot more times than 54 goes into
18. Therefore, I will not be home until sometime tomorrow.
