A married couple in their early 60s were out celebrating their 35th 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 stick 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 me".

The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed; but a wish is a wish. So the fairy made a circle with her magic stick and - abracadabra! the husband became 92 years old.

The moral of this story.....Men might be ungrateful idiots....But fairies are female.

Wub you Maddy......... fairies ARE real!

must be a lot of 'em in los.....................

We all have one sitting on our shoulders - mine, unfortunately, is a leprechaun..!!
