Mervyn and Kitty are sitting in an expensive kosher restaurant enjoying their salt beef and latkes, when Mervyn notices Kitty staring at the man at the next table. Th man looks decidedly drunk, so Mervyn asks Kitty, “You’ve been watching that man for some time now. Do you know him?”
“Yes,” she replies, “he’s my ex-husband.”
“Has he always been a heavy drinker?” Mervyn asks.
“No, not always,” Kitty replies, “but he’s been drinking like that ever since I left him six years ago.”
“That’s remarkable,” says Mervyn. “I didn’t think anybody could celebrate that long.”
Kitty hasn’t spoken to Mervyn since.
