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 her, "Do you know him?"
"Yes", she 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!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on Celebrating that long?"
