JUST FOR SOME LIGHT HUMOUR

My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a

drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone.

I asked her, “Do you know him?”

“Yes”, she sighed, “He’s my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking right after

we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn’t been sober since.”

“My God,” I said, “Who would think a person could go on celebrating for that long?”
