My husband and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.
My husband asks, "Do you know him?"
"Yes," I 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!" says my husband, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"
