That doesn't remind me of another joke:

An old couple, aged 95 and 97, are in front of a judge asking for a divorce.

"How long have you been married?" he asks.

"75 years," says the couple.

"Why did you wait so long to get divorced?" queries the judge.

"We wanted to wait until the children were dead."

I don't get the segway from my joke to yours, but it was funny anyway.
