man shrugMy wife and I were at my high school reunion.

As I looked around, I noticed the other men in their expensive suits and their bulging stomachs. Proud of the fact that I weighed just five pounds more than I did when I was in high school, the result of trying to beat a living out of a rocky hillside farm, I said to my wife,

"I'm the only guy here who can still wear the suit he wore when he graduated."

She glanced at the prosperous crowd, then back at me, and said,

"You're the only one who has to."
