We were sitting in a fine restaurant when my wife looks over at a nearby
table and sees a man in a drunken stupor.

I said "I notice you've been watching that man for some time now. Do
you know him?"

"Yes" she replies, "He's my ex-husband, and has been drinking like that
since I left him seven years ago."

I said, "That's remarkable, I wouldn't think anybody would celebrate
that long."

She hasn't spoken to me since....did I say something wrong?

The wife and I were vacationing at a oceanfront resort.
Sitting on the balcony,enjoying a drink or twelve...the phone rings.
It was a woman that worked for the resort and she asked if I was pleased with the condo.I knew what was coming.
She wanted to know if I would be interested in a time share purchase? As if.
Trying to be nice, I told her this trip was more of a fluke and I didn't think I would be coming back down.
She said she was sorry and was there anything she could do to make me want to come back?
Acting like I was choking back tears , I told the young lady that I was recently 'Widowed'.
This really turned on her 'Oh,you poor baby' attitude.
She hung up when I told her I was down here celebrating.

The better half just rolled her eyes.

It's amazing how little they have to do to put us in our place.
