1. Wow!

Reminds me of the old joke about the very elderly couple who came to see a lawyer about getting a divorce, explaining that they'd been unhappy in their marriage for years. The lawyer was surprised at their request, and said, "You are both nearly a hundred years old; why did you wait so long if you weren't happy?" The wife replied, "We wanted to wait until the children were dead."
