anecdote
Dear colleagues,
I just cannot get the salt of this joke :) I need your help with the last line translation. Is he going to kill her? And if so, why? :) Thank you!
With a man soon to celebrate his 50th wedding anniversary at the church's marriage marathon, the minister asked Pete to take a few minutes and share some insight into how he managed to maintain his marriage with the same woman all these years.
The husband replied to the audience, "Well, I treated her with respect, spent money on her, but mostly I took her traveling on special occasions.
The minister inquired, Trips to where?
For our 25 th wedding anniversary, I took her to Beijing, China
The minister then said, What a terrific example you are to all husbands. Pete.
Please tell the audience what you are going to do for your wife on your 50 anniversary.
Pete said, I am going to go get her.

Voy a ir por ella.
Sé que las anteriores suenan bien, pero la idea es que en el XXV Aniversario la dejó allá y ahora el "regalo" es que la traerá de vuelta a casa...
Saludos =)

la voy a ir a buscar.
El asunto es que para su aniversario #25 la llevó a Beijin, China ¡y la dejó allá!
Es decir, lleva 25 años sin ella y ahora la va a ir a buscar.
