Man, 110, ready to wed wife number six

A 110-year-old Malaysian man who has been looking for a wife said he was ready to marry again after an 82-year-old woman responded to his wish. Ahmad Mohamad Isa, who has 20 grandchildren and 40 great-grandchildren, told Malay-language newspaper Utusan Malaysia earlier this week that he wanted company and a wife to take care of him.

The report grabbed the attention of 82-year-old Sanah Ahmad, a widow of 30 years and mother of nine, who said she was willing to do so and had asked her children to contact Ahmad's family to make arrangements.

"It doesn't matter who she is, as long as she can cook for me," Ahmad said on Sunday, saying he was happy and surprised at the news while his daughter would discuss the matter with Sanah's family. It is lonely to live alone and I am afraid to sleep alone. If I have a wife she can take care of me," the centenarian, who has five previous marriages and suffers mild hearing and vision problems, said.

Four of his wives have died and he divorced the fifth. Sanah said that she was attracted to Ahmad as he bears a striking resemblance to her late husband and both men shared the same name.

I thought for a moment that was a 110 year old man marrying wife ((6) (year old)). Normally I'd call him a lazy git if the only reason he wants a wife is for someone to take care of him, but at 110 I'm willing to make an exception :)

You'd think after 110 years he'd have learned to cook for himself. The fact that he hasn't suggests that he is lazy.
