A elderly couple had been dating

An elderly couple had been dating for some time.

Finally, they decided it was time for marriage.

Before the wedding, they went out to dinner and had a long conversation regarding how their marriage might work.

They discussed finances, living arrangements and so on.

Finally the old gentleman decided it was time to broach the subject of their physical relationship.

He asked, rather trustingly.

“Well,” she says, responding carefully, “I’d have to say I would like it infrequently.”

The old gentleman sat quietly for a moment.

Then, looking over his glasses, he looked her in the eye casually asking, “Was that one word or two?”
