It was a quiet evening at the local bar, the species where everyone thinks that they own their own business, sipping their drinks and enjoying a low hum.
But tonight something unusual was cooked. Two young men, apparently in a thick conversation that looked more intense than your usual bar chat, sat several stools down from the older master who enjoyed his evening in peace – until the words coming from the younger guys aroused his curiosity.
What began as an occasional exchange has quickly turned into something that attracted the attention of all close ones, especially an older man whose years of life experienced him to offer advice that no one could predict.
One guy turns to his friend and says, “Man, you look really worn out!”
A friend replies, “I’m exhausted, dude. My girlfriend wants to have s*x all the time! Three, four, sometimes even six times a night! He wakes me in the middle of the night. I just don’t know what to do! ”
The older man in his 1970s, sat a few stools away and heard their conversation. He looks at two of them and with the wisdom that comes with age, says
“Take her. It will end all the nonsense!”
Young men laughed at the old man’s notes and realized that sometimes the simplest solutions come up with the wisdom of experience. It was a reminder that life challenges, no matter how stunning, often have a funny and practical way to handle them – if you lived only long enough to learn it.
