After my wife and her former best buddy, another Air Force wife,
were separated by a move that posted one husband on the
opposite coast, the telephone became their chief means of
communication. When our phone bills showed astronomical
increases, the other spouse and I sought relief. Since we both
owned computers, we encourage our wives to use electronic
mail. Now they call on the phone to let each other know that
e-mail was sent, then call back to confirm that it arrived and
have a conversation about the contents.

are starving." I tell my daughters, "Finish your homework. People in
India and China are starving for your job."

As my husband, the county highway commissioner, was driving to
the hospital for treatment of his painful leg, he decided to use the
valet parking service so he wouldn't have to walk far. Staring at his
official-looking vehicle, one of the valets asked my husband if he
was driving a government car. "Why, yes," my husband replied,
surprised by the question. "In fact it's an unmarked police car."
"Wow" the young man said, sliding behind the wheel. "This will be
the first time I've been in the front seat."
Steve, my accountant husband, and I both suffer from occasional bouts
of insomnia. One night I suggested we try a technique I'd read about,
which was to encourage relaxation. Laying with our eyes closed, I
described a relaxing scene: "We're in a beautiful, oceanside bungalow
on a tropical island. A gentle breeze is coming through the French
doors that lead to our private ocean path."
A quiet voice startled me from my peaceful place; "How much is this
vacation costing us?" Steve asked.
Driving through Oklahoma, my husband and I went out of our way to
stop at what was billed as the largest McDonald's in the world.
However, we were less than thrilled when an employee addressed
everyone over the intercom: "Attention, world's largest McDonald's
customers."
On a truck lunch wagon in London: Sir Lunch A Lot.

had eight children. She told him that she loved her son so
much that she could not imagine dividing that love by eight.
"Madam," the man gently replied, "you do not have to divide
your love. You multiply it."

There was the accountant who told his client, "There's good news, andthere's bad news."
"Give me the bad news first," the client said nervously.
"The bad news is that your business is flat on its back."
The businessperson asked hopefully, "And what's the good news?"
"It's looking up."

I just saw that in our filing cabinet, my husband has all federal correspondencelabeled as "Dealings With The Man."
