A woman comes home and finds a letter from her husband on the dinner table. 🍭🍬🍫❓

She opens it and reads:

Please don't be upset, I shall be back before midnight."

When the man came home late that night, he found a reply to his letter on the dining room table:

"My Dear Husband, I received your letter and thank you for your honesty about my being 54 years old. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that you are also 54 years old. I would like to inform you that, while you read this, I will be at the Hotel Fiesta with one of my students, who is also an assistant tennis coach. He is young, virile and, like your secretary, he is 18. You, being a successful businessman with an excellent knowledge of mathematics, will understand that we are in the same situation, although with one small difference - 18 goes into 54 a lot more times than 54 goes into 18..."

I was too young to figure out what the big attraction was, but I remembered the name, and my girlie dog to this day is SOPHIE TUCKER officially (albeit Sophie, for short).

I have since learned she was big in Vaudeville. (My last dog was named for Tallulah Bankhead, so I'm guessing I have a connection). LOL
