111 I Want to Marry Your Wife p.262

 

    Strange people do strange things. Aging German millionaire Walter Thiele certainly fits the bill.
Recently, he put advertisements in newspapers to find someone to "look after" his wife and his fortune after
he dies. Needless to say, thousands of letters poured in from all over the world. Some young men even showed
up at Walter's home. Once, when he opened the door, a young man said, "I want to marry your wife."
    If you think that's funny,so does Walter. The problem is he isn't getting much sleep. So in order to get
away for a while, he's taking his beautiful young wife on a round-the-world trip. Well, I guess it takes all
kinds of people to make up the world.
