My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high
school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken woman

swigging her drink, as she sat alone at a nearby table.

'Yes,' I sighed. 'She's my old girlfriend. I
understand she started drinking right after we split

up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.'

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

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