The divorce

An old couple, both aged 99 went to see their solicitor to ask about getting a divorce.
The solicitor looks at them for a moment and says, "Excuse me if I sound rude, but divorces are quite expensive. Why bother with one at your age?"

The husband looks at him and says "That's a fair enough question. The truth is we've been considering getting a divorce for the last 60 years. The problem was that we didn't want to upset the children.. so we waited until they died."
