Love vs Greed

We had a visiting priest celebrating Mass this weekend.  The topic of his sermon was love vs selfish greed. He told a joke to make his point.

A 60 year old couple were walking down the beach when they found a magic bottle.  When they opened the bottle a Genie came out and, as a reward for freeing him, offered each of them a free wish.  After some thought the wife asked for a one year trip around the world for her and her husband.
POOF
She was given first class tickets and hotel reservations and $50,000 for meals.
After much thought the husband asked for a wife 20 years younger than himself.
POOF
He became 80 years old.

There is no i in love but there is in live.

Our priest told the same story about two weeks ago. They must read the same manual.
