Wedding Blues

There was an elderly couple who were both widowed.

They had been going out with each other for a long time, and urged on by their friends, they decided it was finally time to get married.

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 sex, so he came right out with it.

'How do you feel about sex?' he asked, rather tentatively.

She thought a moment, then ventured, 'I would like it infrequently. '

The old gentleman sat quietly for a moment, adjusted his glasses, then leaned over towards her and whispered, 'Is that one word or two?'
