At a high school reunion, a man and his wife attend the event together.
As they mingle, the husband finds himself repeatedly gazing at an attractive, intoxicated woman at a nearby table, who is steadily drinking gin.
Turning to face her husband, the wife inquires, “Do you know her?”
“Yes,” the husband confesses, “She’s my ex-wife. I’ve heard she started drinking heavily right after our divorce seven years ago, and hasn’t stopped since.”
Shocked, the wife exclaims, “My God!”
“Who would have thought someone could continue celebrating for that long?”
