| Troy, at the advance age of 72, got married and the marriage was the talk of the town. More so, because his bride was only 23. They checked into a beach resort in the Maldives for their honeymoon and the resort was abuzz with gossip. Next morning, Troy walks into the resort's dining area looking ever so fresh. He ordered a big breakfast and joked with everyone. When his young bride walked into the dining hall after some time, she looked pale and tired. She ordered some tea and that's all she had. She hardly spoke to anyone. Old Troy left the dining room, and the waitress, not wanting to miss the opportunity asked her, "The old man looks so refreshed while you look so fatigued. Is everything all right?` The young girl said, "This man took me for a ride. Before our wedding, he told me he had saved up for 40 years. You can't blame me for thinking it was money he meant." |
