Wit
Yesterday, shortly after lunch, my friend Jim and I were watching “The Sons of Katie Elder” in the smoking room at my tobacconist while we smoked our pipes. There was another gentleman with us who was smoking a cigar. I didn’t catch his name as he didn’t introduce himself.
As we sat there, an attractive forty-something woman breezed into the lounge.
“Hi Dawn!” the gentleman exclaimed upon seeing her.
“The woman looked at Jim and I, smiled, and dead-panned, “Sorry to interrupt but I’ve come to pick my husband up from day-care.”
The unnamed gentleman gave us a wan smile as he stubbed his cigar out in the ashtry, got up, and followed his very witty wife down the hall.
I’m still laughing.
