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 at a nearby table.
I asked, 'Do you know him?'
'Yes,' she sighed, 'He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking right after we
split up 20 years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since.'
'My God!' I said, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'
... And then the fight started.
