John asks his wife

John asks his wife, Mary what she wants to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary.

“Would you like a new mink coat?” he asks.

“Not really,” says Mary.

“Well how about a new Mercedes sports car?” says John.

“No,” she responds.

“Would some beautiful new jewelry do the trick?” he asks, becoming slightly exasperated.

“Nah…” she shrugs.

“What about a new vacation home in the country?” he persists.

She again rejects his offer with a “No thanks.”

“Well what WOULD you like?” John asks.

“John, I’d like a divorce,” answers Mary.

Sorry,” John sighed. “I wasn’t planning on spending that much.”
