From a lady correspondent...

My husband and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink, as he sat alone at an nearby
table.

My husband asks, 'Do you know him?'

'Yes,' I sighed. 'He's my old boyfriend. I understand he started drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since.'

'My God!' says my husband....'Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'

Now you see, there really are two ways to look at everything.
