Birthday Wishes

[A. BOOZER]

A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday. "I'd really love to

be ten again" she replied wistfully.

On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, got up, made her a nice big

bowl of Frosties and then took her off to their local theme park.

What a day! He put her on every ride in the park: the Death Slide, the

Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster, everything there was.

Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling

and her stomach felt upside down. Right away, they journeyed to a

McDonald's where her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra

fries and a refreshing chocolate shake.

Then it was off to the cinema to see the latest blockbuster, complete with

a hot-dog, popcorn, a big fizzy drink, and a huge bag of M&M's, her

favourite sweets.

What a time she had!

Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted.

He leaned over his precious wife with a big smile and lovingly asked,

"Well, Darling, what was it like being ten again?"

Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. "You f***ing

idiot", she replied. "I meant my dress size..."

And the moral of the story: - Even when a man is listening, he's still

going to get it wrong!
