My American sister sent me the following little joke:
A married couple in their 50’s was out celebrating their
25th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant.
Suddenly a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table and said,
"For being such an exemplary married couple and for being faithful
to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish."
"Ooh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband",
said the wife.
The fairy moved her magic wand and -abracadabra! - two tickets for
the new QM2 luxury liner appeared in her hands.
Now it was the husband's turn. He thought for a moment and said,
"Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this only occurs once in a lifetime, so I'm sorry, my Love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than I."
The wife and the fairy were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a
wish. So the fairy made a circle with her magic wand and -abracadabra!-
the husband became 84 years old.
The moral of this story . . . Men might be ungrateful idiots . . .
but fairies are. . . . . . female.

Thankfully, the Latin fairies are much more benevolent to divorced Gringos and can grant what you really ask for.
