What a toast!
He decided to make a rather unpleasant toast, and thought his wife wouldn’t react, but she had enough words to put him in his place.
A birthday is a reason for friends and family to gather. To congratulate the birthday boy and wish him well. But what’s a celebration without a toast? Especially when it’s a milestone!
So, the wife is celebrating her anniversary. The husband’s toast:
“I don’t want to drink to your 50th birthday, when you were as sour as cabbage soup, or to your 40th birthday, when you were as strong as cognac, or to your 30th birthday, when you were as playful as champagne. I’m drinking to your 20th birthday—when you were as juicy as a peach!”
The wife took offense and returned the toast:
“And I’m not drinking to my 20th birthday, when I was as juicy as a peach, but you got a bit of it; not to my 30th birthday, when I was as playful as champagne and you only got the foam; and not to my 40th birthday, when I was as strong as cognac and you shared it.” I drink to my 50s, when I’m as sour as cabbage soup, and you’d be glad to have something to drink, but there’s nothing to drink!
