Ashley Who?
My buddy George is sitting at the bar by himself, twiddling his wedding band. Often tempted to “kick over the traces,” he never succumbed to temptation.
“How long have you been married, George?”
“Long time. Dunno.”
“When crooks hacked the infamous adultery website, was your name on the list?”
“No.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yep.”
“Well you must be the only male over 35 years of age in this town whose name isn’t on the list. You should be ashamed of yourself.”
“I know.”
“I can tell you what the problem is George. You’ve been married too long.”
“Yeah. Too long.”
