After 20 years two university rivals bumped into each other. "Do you remember how I used to be fat and flabby?" asked the first. "Well, I've been on an exercise programme for a few years and now I run marathons."

"That's great!" replied the other man.

"And," the first man continued, "do you remember how I used to be shy and a poor student? Well, I took a course in public speaking and now I make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on the lecture circuit."

"That's great!" came the reply.

"Oh, and how about you?" the first man inquired. "Have you changed at all?"

"Yes, I have," said the second man. "Remember how brutally honest I used to be and how when someone said something uninteresting, I would reply, "I couldn't care less?" Well, now I just say, "That's great!"

A woman and her husband interrupted their vacation to go to a dentist. "I want a tooth pulled, and I don't want any painkillers because I'm in a big hurry," the woman said. "Just extract the tooth as quickly as possible and we'll be on our way."

The dentist was impressed. "You're certainly a courageous woman," he said. "Which tooth is it?"

The woman turned to her husband and said, "Show him your tooth, dear."


Our friend Jane apologised for being a few minutes late for our dinner date. She and her husband had been grocery shopping, she explained, and it had taken longer than expected. Knowing that my husband, a nonshopper, was listening and hoping he'd be inspired to help me, I said, "Do you mean Steve shops with you?"

"Oh, yes," Jane replied. "We always go together."

Pressing harder, I said to my husband, "Isn't it nice? Steve shops with Jane every week."

"Dear," my husband said, "if you'd like Steve to shop with you, it's okay with me."
