My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high
school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken
lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a
nearby table.
My wife asked, "Do you know her?"
"Yes," I sighed. "She's my old girlfriend. I
understand she took to drinking right after we
split up those many years ago, and I hear she
hasn't been sober since."
"My God!" said my wife. "Who would think a person
could go on celebrating that long?"
