No Fool Like An Old Fool

Forbes is reporting via the Vienna News that Austrian retail tycoon Karl Wlaschek will wed for the fifth time at the age of 94. Well, if you had $5 billion, what would you do? His bride-to-be, ‘Ricki’ Schenk won’t reveal her age, but speculation is that she is at least thirty years younger.

The couple met a few years ago at a Vienna event and soon realized that they’d both lost their spouses on the very same day.

The self-made Wlaschek has four kids but says he wants another five or six at the least. ‘Ricki’ laughed off his comment, saying, "I am not so young anymore."

A few years ago, my financial controller asked me, "If I die, will you get remarried?" I immediately responded, "Nope, been there and done that." Then she said, "I wouldn’t want you to be lonely." I assured her I would not be lonely. I have a plan.

First, I would set up a menu for meals. Then I would have lady friends over according to what they cook. One week I would have Mexican food, then German food, American food, and so forth. Just move them in and move them out. Naturally, if I found one that could support me in a manner to which I would like to become accustomed, I would let her stay a little longer.

Or, maybe I would just have ‘Meals on Wheels’ stop by once per day.

I don’t want any more kids.
