MY OLD GIRLFRIEND......

My husband and I were sitting at a table at his high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table.

I asked my husband, "Do you know her?"

"Yes," he sighed, "She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since."

"My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"
