Two Ways to Look at It

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

My wife asks, 'Do you know her?'

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

'My God!' says my wife.
'Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'

So you see, there really are two ways to look at everything.
