Food Joke

The unhappy woman One day, whilst Hette Levine was out shopping in Brent Cross, she noticed an old lady sitting on a bench sobbing her eyes out. Hette stopped and asked her what was wrong. The old lady said, "I have a 22 year old husband at home. He makes love to me every morning and then gets up and makes me pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit and freshly ground coffee." Hette said, "Well, then why are you crying?" The old lady continued, "He makes me homemade soup for lunch and my favourite cake and then makes love to me for half the afternoon". Hette asked again, "Well, why are you crying?" The old lady continued, "For dinner he makes me a gourmet meal with wine and my favourite dessert and then makes love to me until 2 o’clock in the morning. Hette asked yet again, "Well, why in the world would you be crying?" The old lady replied, "I can`t remember where I live!"
