There are a number of ways to make a joke funny but perhaps one that works out very well in most cases is to have something where opposites are involved. It could be the very premise of the joke or perhaps just a storyline that leads to the punchline. In either case, however, it adds an interesting element to the humorous story that ends up making us laugh when all is said and done. That is what we have for you here, when an 84-year-old man marries a beautiful 25-year-old woman. You would think that it would be the perfect arrangement for the old man but he lives to regret it in a hilarious way.
A wealthy merchant of 84 married a 25-year-old fashion model.
They had a wonderful honeymoon in Aruba but, unfortunately, the old boy suffered a coronary and was hospitalized.
When his young wife came to see him, the old man said,
“Sweetheart, your future has been taken care of regardless of what happens to me. You will have an income of $250,000 a year, my home in Palm Springs, my ranch in Texas, my Mercedes. You’ll never need to worry about money.”
“Oh, sweetheart, please don’t talk that way,” his young wife exclaimed.
“You’ve been so good to me already. If you go, I’ll be devastated. Oh, there must be something I can do to help you. Please….tell me what I can do?”
“Well,” the old man gasped, “you can quit pinching the inlet tube to my oxygen.”
