The
75-year-old groom, with the young wife, caused a lot of attention as he
checked into the resort hotel. The following morning, the old boy came
strutting into the dining room, lookin' great with a big smile on his face.
He proceeded to order an enormous breakfast. He laughed and joked and was in
obvious good spirits, whereas his young wife, who came into the room a half
hour later, looked worn out. She ordered coffee in a voice so weak the
waiter had to ask her to repeat the order.
The old man finished his breakfast, excused himself and left for their room.
This gave the waitress a chance to ask the bride, "Honey, I can't figure it
out. The old geezer, your husband, looks like a million and you look like
two cents. What's wrong?"
"That guy double-crossed me," the bride said. "He told me he'd saved up for
fifty years! And all the time I thought he was talking about money!"
