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

During the celebration¹ 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 Boom²! She had the tickets in her hand.

Next, it was the husband's turn. He paused³ 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.
