ONE NIGHT MY WIFE AND I WERE INVITED TO GO TO AN ENGAGEMENT
PARTY. MY WIFE SAID, "I'M NOT GOING UNLESS I BRING HIS WIFE
SOMETHING."
WE WENT TO THE GROSSE POINTE FLORIST TO BUY A GIFT. I SAID,
"LOOK, I FOUND A PLANT."
"HOW MUCH," SHE ASKED.
I SAID, "THIRTY FIVE DOLLARS."
"THAT'S TOO EXPENSIVE," SHE SAID. "HERE'S ONE FOR TWENTY
DOLLARS."
JUST AS SHE SAID THAT, THE PLANT SLIPPED FROM HER HANDS
AND FELL ONTO OTHER FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS. WE HAD TO PAY
FIFTY-TWO DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE MORAL OF THE STORY
IS: WE SHOULD HAVE PAID THE THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS, IT WOULD
HAVE BEEN LESS EXPENSIVE.
