Ed, a 65-year-old, extremely wealthy visitor shows up at the Corner Bar with a breathtakingly handsome and very sexy 21-year-old guy who knocks everyone's socks off with both his appeal and charm.
His buddies are aghast to find that Ed and the young man have married in a Thai ceremony and are now inseparable. At the very first chance, they corner him and ask, "Ed, how on earth did you get HIM?" "I lied about my age," Bob replies. "Did you tell him you were only 40?" one asked.
Ed smiles and says "No, I told him I was 90."

Re: A bit of levity
I'm going to read this as a nice little joke, not a piece of reportage; but, oddly, it fits in with the farewell conversation I had, on the day I last left Pattaya, with a very camp employee of the hotel I stay in. We are on very easy, open terms, but for a moment I was thrown by his request that I should go back to London and find him a boyfriend - "Must be more than 90 years", followed by a mime of farang decrepitude. My naive and puzzled face provoked him into gales of laughter, and, guessing at his meaning, I said, "Oh, you want him to die soon?" "No, no, not die!" and more raucous laughter. I had got it in one.
On reflexion, it occurred to me that the hotel had a long-term guest who completely answered to this description, but unfortunately for Khun N he already had a cute little carer who was certainly not going to allow any competition.
