INSATIABLE WIFE
Two down-and-outers sat on a park bench discussing better days. “I had a glorious future at one time, man. I know that may be hard to believe, but it’s true. I was a college graduate, doing pretty well, but my wife wanted to be rich. So I got on Wall Street and started making even more money. I’d work ten, twelve, fifteen hours a day, but it was never enough. My wife would spend more than I ever made. It was driving me into the ground. Then finally she ran off with somebody who was doing even better than I was. I just fell apart. Now I’m here in the park, drinking cheap wine, and trying to drown my sorrows. How about you?” The other guy said, “I think I’m the guy she ran off with.” -Gene Perrett’s Funny Business
